How to apply Income Support

Government cut back the eligibility for people apply income support these days. The only group is single parents who look after child aged under 7. The amount of Income Support is the same as Job Seeker Allowance (JSA), because of claimants could not "actively looking for jobs" therefore, income support is payable.

However, we got a lady asking help to filling in a income support form. It is very strange, because these days, DWP using telephone application in most case. Call to them is free from big six mobile operators. DWP recorded all calls, and make sure they have all the information they need.

I am not sure why people still want to fill in a income support application form, it has 74 pages!
