Not all disabled people receive what you do. Edit to add, being disabled doesn't automatically entitle anyone to any benefits, or extra money.
Indeed. It just makes me so angry! People shouldn't "assume"

That would be ridiculous - where on earth would the government find that level of money for everybody across the country?
Our benefits are all disability related that most others get. My wife doesn't even get the full pension she just gets 60% of the old State pension as she hardly paid any stamp due to bringing up two children as well as caring for me and, in my case, caring for her but neither of us get anything for those caring duties.
Personally, I would be happy with just the 10% for our State pensions and 5.5% on everything else.

@poppy123456 this was my thoughts exactly too, sorry to say, and it seems like it's such a countrywide opinion, who's alright and who isn't, social division is becoming an extreme and sad issue, I don't get PIP because I didn't have the evidence or mental strength and knowledge to fight at upper tribunal or a second time, I got the UC disability element second time around, all this after struggling with work for many years and finally giving in, at the moment I am ok, only because I gave up driving and the costs and barely go out now, I also have solar panels which helps but I have barely put the heating on in years, not at all this year yet and I have a problem currently with my bill and supplier, I am at the moment literally on the breadline, but I should be entitled to PIP....0
