5. Transitional addition
Most awards of incapacity benefit, severe disablement allowance and income support ‘on the grounds of disability’ have been transferred to employment and support allowance (ESA) (see
here).
When you transferred, you may have been entitled to a transitional addition included in your income-related ESA or housing benefit applicable amount. For more information, see p356 of the 2019/20 edition of this Handbook.
