Personal Independence Payment (PIP) is awarded to people who may need extra help due to an illness, disability or mental health condition - and it is staying as it is
Over two million individuals are poised to transition from their current benefits to Universal Credit, in a significant overhaul by the Department for Work and Pensions . This change will see Universal Credit take the place of six existing benefits.
This indicates that PIP claimants will not have their benefits phased out nor will they be transferred to Universal Credit, as reported by Mirror. Depending on how your condition affects your life, you may be entitled to one or both of these rates. The daily living rate is £72.65 at the lower rate and £108.55 at the higher rate.Eligibility for PIP is determined by an assessment carried out by a health professional, which evaluates how your condition impacts your daily life.
