Partial capacity benefit is a social welfare scheme which allows a person return to employment if they have reduced capacity for work and continue to receive a payment from my department.
To qualify for partial capacity benefit the person concerned must be currently in receipt of either illness benefit (for a minimum of 6 months) or invalidity pension. According to the records of my department the person concerned is not currently in receipt of either of these payments and therefore cannot be considered for partial capacity benefit.
