The latest figures from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) show that at the end of April, 2022 there were nearly three million people across the UK claiming support through Personal Independence Payments (PIP), with just over one in three claimants (35%) receiving the highest level of award.

Of the overall total, 313,620 people living in Scotland are now receiving financial support of between £24.45 and £156.90 each week and as the benefit is paid every four weeks, this amounts to between £97.80 and £627.60 every payment period.

People in Scotland making a new claim for PIP may be redirected to apply for the new devolved benefit - Adult Disability Payment - instead, find more about this here.

The new data also reveals that there are now 25,363 people receiving support for 25 types of gastrointestinal conditions including Coeliac disease, Crohn’s disease and Irritable Bowel Syndrome.Below is the list of 25 gastrointestinal conditions being supported through PIP to help with either daily living, mobility needs or a combination of both components.Assessment award rates vary by disabling condition and a PIP claimant’s main disabling condition is recorded during their assessment in over 99% of cases, reports the DWP.If you are over 16 and under State Pension age, you may be able to claim PIP to help with a respiratory condition, and if your ability to work is limited due to your symptoms you could be eligible for ‘new style’ Employment and Support Allowance (ESA).
