Welfare benefits
The welfare benefits position of psychiatric in-patients is set out in a House of Lords written answer dated 23/6/10. Psychiatric patients who, were it not for their illness, would be serving a term of imprisonment, do not receive any welfare benefits: this is currently being judicially reviewed (if the LSC will fund an appeal to the Supreme Court).
