All UK benefits are paid for from the public purse that is National Insurance Contributions and Tax.

However since the UK is a member of the European Union, it also gains grants from the Union to put towards aiding those who need adaptations, such as wheelchair use.


The UK is going through a major overhaul in the benefits system. There are currently checks undertaken by "Health Care Professionals " on behalf of the Department of Works and Pensions to ensure they qualify for benefit and to what level they need financial support.If it is found that they do not meet the criteriathey will be moved to ESA and the DLA benefits are cancelled. Those who refuse to be checked up on will also lose benefits. DLA can be paid if a person is employed but has qualifying issues.
