The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has warned that recipients of Personal Independence Payment (PIP) could see their benefits reduced if they are also receiving certain other benefits. PIP provides up to £184.30 per week to individuals with long-standing health issues or disabilities. However, if a claimant receives benefits like the War Pensioners' Mobility Supplement or Constant Attendance Allowance, their PIP payment may be reduced by the amount of the overlapping benefit.
PIP recipients are being alerted that their payments could be cut in certain cases. The DWP means of support assists individuals with long-standing health issues or disabilities, offering up to £184.30 weekly for the highest bracket of both daily living and mobility components.
"The overlapping benefit is always paid in full and PIP is reduced by the amount of the overlapping benefit." If one is awarded the War Pensioners’ Mobility Supplement , which complements the War Disablement Pension, this supplement provides additional financial help for mobility requirements tied to service-related disabilities. This would lead to a decreased allocation from the mobility part of PIP, which is distributed at £28.70 per week at the standard rate and £75.
Claimants receive a full day rate of £88.70, while the part-day rate is £44.35. There's also an exceptional rate of £117.40 and an intermediate rate of £133.05. Those on the exceptional and intermediate rates might also be eligible for the Exceptionally Severe Disablement Allowance, which adds an extra £88.70 to their Constant Attendance Allowance rate.
