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 indicate that some 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 £691.00 every pay period.
A health professional will carry out your assessment, write a report and send it to the DWP decision maker. You might also be asked to carry out some physical tasks during the face-to-face assessment. Don’t feel you have to do things that you wouldn’t normally be able to do. If you do them on assessment day, the assessor may think you can always do them, so if you’re not comfortable with something - say so.
What may seem like a drawn out process for you, will demonstrate exactly how you accomplish tasks to the assessor - so don’t try to speed up or simplify how you get things done.
