Living with a physical disability

There are over 10 million people in the UK with a long term illness, impairment or disability.  The most common disabilities are those that affect how you move, including how you lift and carry things.

Disabilities generally affect older people, with one in two people over the state pension age, and one in seven working adults having a disability. 

Around one in 20 children and young people are disabled.
