PIP claimants could be eligible for 10 discounts and freebies including help to pay bills | Personal Finance | Finance
Council tax discounts
PIP claimants may be able to get a council tax discount if they claim the living or mobility part of PIP.
They’ll need to contact their local council to find out – which they can do by searching the local council finder and putting their postcode in.
For more information, people can visit the Government website.
Free prescriptions
If someone has a disability that entitles them to PIP, they may be able to get free NHS prescriptions too.
To get the free prescription people will have to apply for a medical exemption certificate. For a list of illnesses that qualify for a medical exemption certificate, people can visit the NHS website.
Benefit boosts
Britons on certain benefits may be eligible for a disability premium.
Roughly six million people across the UK receive disability benefits which are exempt from tax.
