Personal Independence Payment (PIP) is a benefit that helps people over 16 and under State Pension age with the extra costs of living with a long-term illness, mental health condition or physical, sensory or cognitive disability.
The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) could award you between £23.70 and £152.15 per week to help with the costs of daily living and outdoor mobility needs.
PIP is paid every four weeks, so this amounts to between £94.80 and £608.60 every month and the rate you receive depends on how your condition affects you - not the condition itself - which means you do not need to have a defined condition to make a claim for support.
