A successful claim for PIP or Adult Disability Payment is worth between £26.90 and £172.75 each week.

The latest statistics from the Department for Work and Pensions show that 661,620 Personal Independence Payment assessments were conducted over the phone between February 2022 and January 2023. The figure accounts for 66 per cent of all assessments and includes new claims, award reviews and change of circumstances.

How to prepare for any type of PIP assessment If you are invited to attend a PIP assessment - as part of a new claim or an award review - it could be in-person, over the phone or by video call. Successful PIP claimants could receive between £26.90 and £172.75 every week - as PIP is paid every four weeks this amounts to between £107.60 and £691 every pay period.

What is a PIP assessment? The PIP assessment is an opportunity for you to talk about how your condition affects you - it's not a diagnosis of your condition or a medical examination. The DWP will take into consideration evidence from the assessment to decide if you should be awarded PIP. Latest PIP and ADP News Observations on what you say and do during the assessment The assessor will use the information you gave on your PIP claim form but also draw opinions from what you say and do on the day. For example, they might ask you how you got to the centre for a face-to-face assessment - if you say you came on the bus, without further clarification, they could make a note stating that you can travel alone on public transport - unless you highlight otherwise.

Pause, reflect and reply Break your answer down and take them through how you complete tasks step-by-step to paint an accurate picture of how your disability or health condition affects you. Things to remember during the assessment You can have someone with you while you do the assessment over the phone, on the video call or in person, just remember to put the call on loudspeaker and advise the assessor who is with you.
