When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

You may be able to claim Incapacity Benefit if any of the following apply to you:
your Statutory Sick Pay has ended, or you cannot get it
you are self employed or unemployed
you have been getting Statutory Maternity Pay (SMP) and have not gone back to work for your employer because you are incapable of work
you were under State Pension age when you became sick "

Indeed not, but I was using an example of a similar benefit as 'worker's unsuitability' which would be literal

Having read Marijke's response, I now actually agree with her. Disability allowance (or Disability Living Allowance) is for those needing help with personal care. Incapacity benefit more closely parallels WAO. So Marijke - hats off to you.
