Pre-order the Disability Rights Handbook from our shop

Now in its 42nd edition, it is the main guide to benefits and services for all disabled people, their families, carers and advisers. The guide is also available as an accessible word version.

You can also subscribe to regular updates which will keep your handbook up to date throughout the year.

Our handbook provides in-depth, comprehensive guidance on the benefits system and information on other services and resources.

  • How the system works, how to claim and how to challenge decisions
  • Benefits for people living with health conditions, injury or disability and for carers, children and young people
  • Support for those looking for work or in retirement
  • Getting and paying for care services

If you’ve used it in the past, throw away your old one as the new handbook explains how new eductions in Employment and Support Allowance and support for children in Child Tax Credit and Universal Credit as well as tightened Universal Credit rules will have a stark effect on benefits for people of working age.
