Disability and Carers Service

The Disability and Carers Service is part of the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP). It provides financial support for customers claiming disability benefits and their carers – for example, Disability Living Allowance and Carer’s Allowance.

With offices across the country, the Disability and Carers Service provides financial support…

• Disability Living Allowance
• Attendance Allowance
• Carer’s Allowance
• Vaccine Damage Payments.

Our internet pages give specific information for professionals and advisers. They contain information on our standards, our performance, how we are improving our service and our offices around the country.

For more details on who we are, what we do and our priorities for 2008 to 2009, read the PDCS Business Plan.

There is information on government support for disabled people and information for carers on the Directgov website.
