And that is why I think they have abolished incapacity benefit (plus you have quoted long term rates which you had to be on incap for a while before getting) for new claimants...its replacement ESA is at the same rate as JSA for the first 12 weeks whilst you have to go through a medical assessment period
plus you have quoted the old rates
