PIP could provide up to £691 each month for people with breathing problems including severe asthma

The latest statistics from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) show that at the end of January 2023, there were 3.25million people across Great Britain claiming Personal Independence Payment (PIP), including over 319,000 living in Scotland.

The Scottish figure will decrease over the coming months as more existing claimants are transferred to Adult Disability Payment (ADP).

The new devolved disability benefit replaced new claims for PIP in Scotland last summer along with a phased migration from DWP to the Social Security Scotland welfare system, which is expected to be completed by the end of 2025.

A successful claim for PIP or ADP is worth between £26.90 and £172.75 each week in additional financial support and as the benefit is paid every four weeks, this amounts to between £107.60 and £691.00 every payment period.More than 540 health conditions are being supported by PIP or ADP, but the list is not definitive and contains an 'unknown' category.
