<p>There is no objective way of deciding what an adequate level of benefit should
be as every-one has different requirements. In addition to being eligible to claim
non-means tested benefits, such as PIP and DLA, disabled people can receive Universal
Credit to support them with their living costs. Couples, where one is working and
one has limited capability for work or work related activity, may also be eligible
to claim childcare costs. The Universal Credit rate for the most severely disabled
people, the limited capability for work and work related activity (LCWRA) addition,
is more than double the equivalent rate for the Employment and Support Allowance support
group. Our upcoming Health and Disability Green Paper will explore how we can go even
further to support disabled people and those with health conditions now and in the
future.</p>
