Disability and Carers Service

The Disability and Carers Service is part of the Pension, Disability and Carers Service (PDCS) which is an executive agency of the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP). It provides financial support for customers claiming disability benefits and their carers – for example, Disability Living Allowance and Carer’s Allowance.

With offices across the country, the Disability and Carers Service provides financial support…

  • Disability Living Allowance
  • Attendance Allowance
  • Carer’s Allowance
  • Vaccine Damage Payments.

The Pension, Disability and Carers Service vision is “Working together to make lives better".

Our internet pages give specific information for professionals and advisers. They contain information on our standards, our performance, how we are improving our service and our offices around the country.

For more details on who we are, what we do and our priorities for 2008 to 2009, read the PDCS Business Plan.

We have published details of our Executive Management Team and Non-Executive Directors on the PDCS Board structure page.
