Budgeting with a disability: benefits, grants and support

SYMUpdated Planning

Living with a disability often brings additional costs. But there are benefits and support to help manage expenses.

Benefits Available

You may be entitled to PIP, ESA, Universal Credit, or other disability-related benefits. Use a benefits calculator to check. Don't assume you won't qualify.
  • Personal Independence Payment
  • Employment and Support Allowance
  • Universal Credit disability elements

Grants and Support

Various grants exist for disability-related costs: equipment, home adaptations, transport. Turn2us has a grant finder. Local councils may have discretionary funds.
What about Motability?

Motability lets you use the enhanced rate of the PIP mobility component to lease a car. It's worth exploring if you need vehicle adaptations.
