Adult Disability Payment

Adult Disability Payment is extra money to help people if they have a disability or long-term health condition that affects their everyday lives. Adult Disability Payment is made up of 2 parts:

  1. daily living

  2. mobility

People may qualify for one or both parts. It does not matter if people are working or not. Their income and savings are not taken into account. The amount people get depends on how their condition affects their ability to do everyday activities and get around.
