asked Her Majesty's Government:

What advice and guidance from official sources is immediately accessible all year and every year for disabled people and their advisers to enable them, their staff and members of the public to decide eligibility for income support. [HL5328]

Advice and guidance to help disabled people to decide their eligibility for income support is available via the Department for Work and Pensions and Directgov websites on the internet. Information is provided at varying levels of detail to meet the needs of customers and advisers. The department also publishes an extensive range of information leaflets, available from its offices and via the internet, which include leaflet DWP1003, Income Support. In addition, the benefits inquiry line offers free advice on benefit eligibility to people who are sick or disabled, a carer or one of their representatives.
