Although mental illness affects people from all income levels, a significant proportion of discharged psychiatric patients rely heavily on the benefit system. Therefore, changes in benefit entitlement are of great concern to these people who already find this system difficult to use. Reports on the views of individuals with mental health problems and of five organisations involved in advocacy work on the introduction of the Incapacity Benefit. These views raised serious questions about the extent to which the benefit system meets the needs of claimants with mental health problems, on the relevance of the models of disability used in sickness benefits, and on the impact of the Incapacity Benefit and the Job Seeker's Allowance on people with mental health problems and confirmed the need for further research.
