It supports millions of people
Reported figures show around three million people across the UK are currently entitled to extra cash as a result of a medical condition. Health issues ranging from anxiety to vision diseases are listed, with reports indicating hundreds of thousands more people are missing out on the additional financial help, which is available to eligible claimants even if they are still able to work.
The benefit is awarded to people over 16 if they have difficulty doing certain everyday tasks or getting around. You can still apply for the amount if you're working or have savings as it is not means-tested. However, how much you get depends on how your condition affects you.Amounts will rise by 10.1 percent from April 2023 in line with the uprating of state benefits. Standard and enhanced rates apply for daily and mobility elements of the benefit. The lowest amount is £24.
