The payments help millions of people across the country
Many Brits with certain health conditions or disabilities can claim Personal Independence Payments . People who suffer from long-term physical or mental health conditions or disability could be entitled to PIP to help with extra living costs.
There are two parts to PIP, a daily living part for if you need help with everyday tasks and mobility part for if you need help with getting around, reports Liverpool Echo. The Department for Work and Pensions will look into how difficult you find daily living and mobility tasks. Whether you get one or both parts and how much you get depends on how difficult you find everyday tasks and getting around.PIP first began in April 2013 and since then until January 2023 there were more than six million claims registered for PIP, and 6.4 million of the registered claims have been cleared. As of January 31, 2023, there were 2.9 million claims with entitlement to PIP.
In 2021, the DWP revealed a list of 21 health conditions that are most likely to be eligible for back pay of up to £12,000, after judges ruled assessments hadn't been carried out correctly.
