Choose your benefit journey

Which benefit might apply to you?

There are three main disability benefits covered on this site. The right one depends on your age:

• PIP (Personal Independence Payment) — for adults aged 16 to State Pension age with a health condition or disability
• DLA for children (Disability Living Allowance) — for children under 16 with a health condition or disability
• Attendance Allowance — for people over State Pension age with care or supervision needs

I am an adult of working age

If you are aged 16 to State Pension age and have a health condition or disability that affects daily living or mobility, start with our PIP section. This covers how PIP works, what is assessed, rates and payments, the claims process, and what to do if you disagree with a decision.

I am claiming for a child

If you are the parent or guardian of a child under 16 with a disability or health condition, start with our DLA for children section. This covers how DLA works for children, the care and mobility components, evidence, renewals, and what happens when a child turns 16.

I am over State Pension age

If you are over State Pension age and have care or supervision needs because of a disability or health condition, start with our Attendance Allowance section. This covers eligibility, rates, evidence, the claims process, and how to challenge a decision.
