<p>People living with a condition arising from exposure to the Covid-19 virus can
access the financial support that is available through Statutory Sick Pay, Universal
Credit, New Style ESA or Pension Credit depending on individual circumstances.</p><p>
</p><p>Disability benefits such as Personal Independence Payment or Attendance Allowance
do not include or exclude by condition, instead they look at the needs arising from
a long-term health condition or disability. Therefore people living with a condition
arising from exposure to the Covid-19 virus are also able to access these benefits
in the same way as other people with long-term conditions or disabilities.</p>
