Debt Help for the Disabled, Disability Living Allowance, In Debt on DLA?

Because many disabled people have to live on a low income due to their disability, debt is a very real and daily concern. Disability Living Allowance DLA is available to people who qualify, however, this does not necessarily improve their mobility and care as DLA was intended to provide. More often than not, disabled people use the money to pay bills or make repayments against debts.

Financial difficulties and debt are often neglected when a family has to start dealing with the onset of disability. This can lead to long term debt problems for both the disabled person and also their carers. The disability can cause a major drop in income as well as a major increase in expenses because of the disability itself. Disabled people often have to move into more accessible accommodation or perhaps have to alter their existing accommodation to suit them better. Many disabled people with debt say that their mental and physical health deteriorates as a direct result of dealing with the debts themselves and made actually getting out of debt that much more difficult.

Getting independent debt advice is proven to increase the likelihood of stopping the problem getting worse and many disabled people often say it was a huge weight off their shoulders turning their lives around almost overnight.

A disabled persons health can be directly affected by the anxiety and stress debt can create and does often deteriorate into depression. For those already suffering mental problems, this can become a very serious issue. If a person’s health deteriorates the chances of getting out of debt through employment are a lot less likely.

The approach that creditors adopt when dealing with disabled people with debt problems is not always the best and this alone can have a detrimental impact on a disabled persons life. This not only causes more health problems, but obviously it reduces the chances of them actually resolving the debt problem they find themselves in. An understanding of the effects debt has on someone living with a disability is sadly often missing with some creditors, even if they are trying to be sympathetic and accommodating towards people with a disability. Unfortunately, this fact alone can make the entire problem worse.
