</p><p>This benefit freeze excluded Disability Living Allowance, Personal Independence
Payment, Attendance Allowance, the Support Group component of Employment and Support
Allowance (for those not expected to look for work), disability premia in working-age
benefits and the disabled elements of tax credits. This provides protection for those
facing the additional cost of disability and long term health conditions.</p>
