The increase will be backdated to the start of the new tax year
From Monday, the Department for Work and Pensions will be providing a financial boost of up to £600 to those receiving Personal Independence Payments . This comes as part of the DWP 's annual review of benefits in line with inflation, which was measured at 6.7% in September 2023.
This means that if you have a health condition or disability that impacts your daily life, you could see your benefits boosted by up to £737 over the next 12 months, or £9,583.60 per year in total from a maximum of £184.30 per week. If you qualify for the 2024/2025 enhanced daily living and mobility components of PIP, you'll receive £184.30 a week, £798.63 a month and £9,583.60 a year. This is an increase of £11.55 a week, £50.05 a month and £600.06 a year.
