Wrong way round, and DLA/PIP is not "additional income" but the only income in most cases. ESA (Work-related activity group) is to help with additional costs finding and keeping employment. ESA (income related) is also means tested, so stops if you (plus your partner) have more than £16K
at any age. It is also reduced on a sliding scale if you have in excess of £6k.

Not free, the entire Mobility component of DLA/PIP is used to pay for it. And that's usually just a basic car. If you want something more expensive, or modified for your use
you have to pay the difference
