The social fund is a government fund which makes payments to people in need.
The regulated social fund is for maternity costs, funeral costs and to help to cover the cost of winter fuel or severe cold weather.
The discretionary social fund provides grants and loans for urgently needed items, certain necessary journeys and other emergencies.
You can find out more about the social fund in our Factsheet F41 - the social fund. If you want more detailed information you should see Disability Alliance's Disability Rights Handbook.
