Financial help if you have a disabled child

You may be able to get financial help if you have a disabled child.

Visit GOV.UK to see if you could get money for:

• changes to your home - the Disabled Facilities Grant
• extra costs of looking after a child with disablities - Child Disability Payment
• expenses if you're a full-time carer for your child - Carer's Allowance
• your child if they are aged 16 or over - Personal Independent Payment (PIP)

Child Winter Heating Assistance

If your child gets the highest rate care component of Child Disability Payment, you'll also get Child Winter Heating Assistance.
