It helps support millions of people
The Department for Work and Pensions' latest statistics show 3.25m people across the UK were claiming Personal Independence Payment by the end of January 2023. This included 2.7m people in England, 232,000 in Wales and more than 319,000 claimants in Scotland.
The study found the overall average success rate for PIP claims is 52 percent, however, it’s important to understand whether or not an award, if given, depends on how a condition or health issue impacts on a person’s daily living and mobility needs.It also found that some conditions are ‘extremely likely’ to get an award:
Disabling conditions and number of claimants - January 2023 These are the main disability categories, the umbrella term by which a total of 547 other conditions fall under. This list is only an overview of conditions, disorders and diseases and how the DWP lists the main disabilities being claimed for.
In addition to what we have outlined above if you get or need help with any of the following because of your condition, you should consider applying for PIP or ADP.How are PIP and ADP paid? PIP and ADP are usually paid every four weeks unless you are terminally ill, in which case it is paid weekly. It will be paid directly into your bank, building society or credit union account. ADP is paid at the same rates as PIP.
Adult Disability Payment assessments will not involve face-to-face assessments, unless this is preferred by the claimant - find out more about the changes here. You can find out more about DWP PIP assessments here.
