Answer a few quick questions and see which UK disability, sickness and carer benefits fit your situation - and where to start with each one.
The UK has several separate benefits for illness and disability, organised mostly by age and work status: PIP for working-age adults (Adult Disability Payment in Scotland), Attendance Allowance after State Pension age, DLA for children, ESA and Universal Credit when a condition limits work, and Carer's Allowance for the people who care. This check walks the same map a welfare adviser would - our guide to what you can claim for a health condition explains every branch in full.
Whether you'll actually be awarded a benefit depends on how your condition affects you and how well the claim shows it - no online check can promise an award, and this one doesn't try. What it can do is point you at the right benefit for your situation, so you don't spend energy on the wrong claim. Current amounts for everything it mentions are on our 2026/27 rates page.
