Mar 29, 2023 · The DWP is raising the rates of benefits by 10.1 per cent (Image: Mike Kemp/In Pictures via Getty Images). However, there will still be help for adults who are looking after children under 16 and need help with extra costs for a child who has difficulties walking or needs much more looking after than a child of the same age who does not have a disability. The second benefit that may apply is the mobility allowance at the higher rate. This allowance is a little more difficult to get as it does require a level of disability to be present. Many men with advanced prostate cancer will meet the requirements and this benefit allows you to get a car under the motability scheme. zybx.
