Benefits


Personal Independence Payment (PIP)

Personal Independence Payment and Disability Living Allowance are benefits available to disabled people to help with extra living costs and who meet the criteria.  Children still claim DLA but adults now claim PIP.  This section has information and resources about PIP mainly.  

Universal Credit (UC)

Universal Credit and Employment Support Allowance are benefits for working age people who are on a low income or out of work.  This may include disabled young people still at college.  ESA is a legacy benefit so you can’t apply for it now but you may still be in receipt of it until you are migrated to UC.

Sample PIP Form

Links to sample forms – the PIP1 form and the actual claim form – PIP2. You can’t print this off – if you want to make a PIP application you need to contact the PIP helpline and request that a form be sent to you.
