Prescription costs in England are covered with a Prepayment Certificate (PPC). If you need multiple prescriptions each month, this could save you over £100 annually.
5. Disabled Facilities Grant – Amount Varies
If your disability requires home adaptations like ramps, widened doors, or accessible bathrooms, this grant—available from your local council—can help cover those costs. Disabled children under 18 qualify without means testing.
6. WaterSure Scheme – Worth £473
Under this scheme, households with high water needs due to health conditions may get water bills capped. The average annual water bill is £473, making this one of the most practical forms of relief.
7. Blue Badge Parking Scheme
The Blue Badge provides free parking, discounts, and toll exemptions across the UK. In London, it can also mean avoiding congestion charges, saving hundreds annually.
8. Motability Scheme
PIP recipients receiving the enhanced mobility rate with at least 12 months remaining can access over 2,000 vehicles through this scheme. Insurance, servicing, and road tax are all included in one package.
9. Disabled Person’s Railcard – Save Up to £100
If you travel regularly by train, this card allows you to save a third off rail fares. It’s available for those with a PIP award letter, and applying is simple through your local authority or directly with National Rail.
If you’re on DWP PIP in July 2025, these nine discounts and benefits can add up to £3,558 in savings or support.
From reducing everyday costs like water and prescriptions to accessing grants and tax cuts, these offers are essential for navigating the rising cost of living.
Make sure your records are updated with DWP and your local council, and don’t hesitate to apply where needed—no opportunity should be left unclaimed when every pound counts.
