Good afternoon
I would appreciate any suggestions for this, which is a benefit that has replaced Incapacity Benefit in the UK.
Thank you!

| Great! This will do nicely. |
| I need the translation for telephone interpreting, as often non-English speakers do not understand what this involves. |

leave it in English and explain in brackets
Like so many things pertaining to one particular country there is (rather obviously) no exact equivalent in another country.
You should retain the original wording and explain in brackets or with a translator's note: FX Fraipont's version seems excellent for the purpose.

Note from asker:
| Maybe in a written translation..but I did not explain that this was for telephone interpreting. |

: Yes, it should really be treated like a proper name. / Well, it all depends on how exactly it is being used, of course; but I think the proper name + explanation solution is generally the most helpful to the reader.
