in the UK, money that the government pays to people who need extra help because they have a disability (= an illness, injury, or condition that makes it difficult to do some things that most other people can do). This is now being replaced by personal independence payment.

Some benefits, such as disability living allowance, are not dependent on how poor or how wealthy you are. 有些福利，如残疾人生活补贴，并不取决于受益人的贫富程度。

It could cost up to £400 to fix his electric scooter, which he could not afford without his Disability Living Allowance. 修理他的电动代步车可能需要花费400英镑，如果没有残疾人生活补贴，他就修不起。
