This Government is committed to supporting disabled people affected by the Covid-19 outbreak and has delivered an unprecedented package of support, putting £7 billion into the welfare system.

We continue to monitor the impact on disabled people using existing and new data sources, whilst ensuring that they are able to access the support they need.
