Personal Independence Payment (PIP) is a benefit that helps people over the age of 16 and under State Pension age with the extra daily costs of living with a long-term illness, physical or mental health condition or a disability.

The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) could award you between £23.70 and £152.15 per week to help with the additional costs of daily living and outdoor mobility needs.

If you are awarded PIP you may also be able to claim extra money on top of your existing benefits, Council Tax reductions and discounts on travel.

The DWP guidance states: "Entitlement to PIP provides a gateway or passport to other benefits, such as Carer’s Allowance, and schemes sponsored by other departments, such as the Blue Badge scheme." You will need your PIP award letter before you can apply for any extra help, this is often referred to as a PIP award notice, and is sent to you when the DWP has made a decision about your claim.
