People on disability benefits including Personal Independence Payment (PIP), Adult Disability Payment (ADP), Attendance Allowance, Disability Living Allowance (DLA) and more, can join a unique, free scheme which gives them exclusive discounts off top brands online. Purpl is a small start up run by disabled people aiming to offset the extra costs of living as a disabled person through discounts.

More than 25,000 people have signed up to Purpl since it launched last July, giving them access to discounts with hundreds of retailers and brands including Boots, Currys, Debenhams, Ninja UK, Sky, Poundland and Virgin Media. There’s too many to list here, but the website has a handy A to Z and a full category guide, which you can view here.

Purpl also has a range of advice and guides for disabled people around money, benefits, grants and extra support to help with the additional costs of living with a disability, long-term illness or physical or mental health condition.

The Purpl website is easy to navigate and fully accessible, with easy to follow instructions on how to join - basically take a picture of your disability document.

These include:

  • Blue Badge (photo side)

  • Disabled bus pass

  • Disabled rail card

  • Access card

  • CEA card

  • PIP, ADP, DLA or Child Disability Payment award letter

  • Attendance Allowance letter

  • War pension (disability component) letter

  • Access to work / ESA letter

For anyone worried about sending key information to Purpl, the website explains: “When you upload the photo of your document, you want to know that it’s safe and that we protect your privacy.

“All of our systems and storage are protected and encrypted to the high standard you would expect them to be. When you upload your document photo, we only keep it long enough to read it and collect the information we need from it to verify your account. Once we have this, the document photo is permanently deleted.”

Founder of Purpl, Georgina, has Multiple Sclerosis and ADHD, she explained the reason behind creating a discount website for disabled people: “I totally understand how expensive it is when living with a disability. I launched Purpl with a vision to help disabled people regardless of their disability save money.

“It is early days for Purpl, our website only launched in July 2024 and we are working hard to get your more and more exclusive disabled discount codes and offers everyday."

Georgina continued: “Purpl is more than just discounts though - using Purpl means I can stick to my mission to give back to our community. As we become profitable we will donate a percentage of profits to disabled charities and my long term goal is to launch a foundation so I can give grants to those people within our community who need extra financial support.”
