The latest figures from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) show that on October 31, 2021 there were 2.8 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 that total, 297,213 Scots are now receiving financial support between £23.70 and £152.15 every week (£94.80 and £608.60 each month), an increase of 5,113 claimants since July.

The DWP confirmed that during the period between July and October 2021, it had received 180,000 registrations for new claims - the highest quarterly level of new claim registrations since PIP began in 2013.

Some 25,000 changes of circumstances were also reported. The figures also showed that new claims are currently taking 24 weeks to complete, from registration to a decision being made.
