Department recognises the extra costs disabled people can face in their everyday lives.
Attendance Allowance, Disability Living Allowance and Personal Independence Payment
are intended to help with these extra costs. Claimants are able to use their benefit
according to their own priorities. These benefits are tax-free, non-contributory and
are uprated annually in line with inflation. They are paid in addition to other benefits
which someone may be able to receive.</p>
