Guide to disability related expenses
Completed form example
| What would you like to claim for? | Why do you think this is a disability related expense? | How much and how often do you pay for it? eg weekly, monthly etc |
|---|---|---|
| Community alarm provided by Welbeing | I need the alarm to inform my family when I fall and I am unable to get up. | £20 monthly - on bank statement |
| Electricity | As I am housebound, I use more electricity for my heating as well as lights and TV. I think I use more than the average person because I'm disabled. | £150 every 3 months - bills |
| Cleaner | I have bad mobility and struggle moving around my home. I need a cleaner to keep my home tidy. | £15 weekly - invoices |
| Gardener | As above, mobility issues. I like to socialise with my family and friends in the garden in the summer. I cannot tend the garden myself so I have a gardener come once a year to tidy things up and make it nice. | £300 yearly - invoices |
| Blue badge application | As I receive mobility benefits, I am eligible for a blue badge so my carers can access disabled parking spaces. | £10 for 3 years |
