Personal Independence Payment (PIP) is a benefit that helps people over the age of 16 and under State Pension age with the extra costs of living with a long-term health condition or disability.
The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) could give you between £23.60 and £151.40 per week to help with the costs of daily living and outdoor mobility needs.
If you are awarded PIP you may be entitled to extra money on top of your existing benefits, a reduction in your Council Tax or Road Tax bills and discounts on travel.
You’ll need your PIP award letter before you can apply for any extra help and is sometimes referred to as a PIP award notice - this is sent to you when the DWP has made a decision about your claim.
