I know several disabled people who use their DLA to pay the extra costs involved with finding and staying in full employment.

Whilst their wages (AFAIK) have been frozen for years, their DLA has increased very slightly, but not enough to absorb all the extra costs involved with transport especially.

Taxation of DLA might make it financially impossible for them to stay in work.
