People on Universal Credit, the main working-age payment.
People receiving PIP for the extra costs of a long-term health condition or disability.
Universal Credit claimants with a fit note and a Work Capability Assessment. A subset of the Universal Credit figure above, never an addition to it.
The legacy sickness benefit UC health is replacing. Falling as claimants migrate across.
Pensioners on the top-up for a low income.
People over State Pension age who need help with personal care.
Devolved to Scotland. Carer's Allowance was replaced by Social Security Scotland's Carer Support Payment, with case transfer completed in 2025. The remaining DWP figure is a residual of nil-award determinations and would understate carers roughly a hundredfold, so it is withheld rather than published.
