PIP is a state benefit awarded to those who need help with some of the extra costs associated with long term physical or mental health conditions or disability. The amount received will be dependent on how the conditions impact claimants, not the condition itself.
The daily living part will pay either £60 or £89.60 per week.
The mobility part pays out either £23.70 or £62.55 a week.
While only Armed Forces Independence Payments impact eligibility for PIP, Constant Attendance Allowance and War Pensioners’ Mobility Supplement payments may reduce daily living payments.
Initial claims for PIP can be made by telephone, textphone or through the post.
Following a claim, people will go through an assessment process where DWP will determine eligibility.
A decision letter will be sent to claimants following this which determines if they're eligible, the date of their first payment and what day of the week they'll usually be paid.
PIP is usually paid once every four weeks.
The payments will be paid into a designated bank, building society or credit union account.
