There are more than 20 million people UK-wide that claim benefits, or State Pension, from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP).
Benefits like Universal Credit can be an essential for those out of work or on a low income, reports the Daily Record. Disability benefits including Personal Independence Payment (PIP) and Attendance Allowance, can help people mitigate the extra costs of living with a long-term illness or health condition.
Regular payments like this can help pay for things like taxis, additional equipment, mobility scooters, wheelchairs and even a Motability vehicle. However, there are many reasons that the DWP can use to reduce, pause or even stop someone's benefit claims.
