Disability payments are usually paid every four weeks, resulting in 13 payments throughout the year.
The latest figures from the Department for Work and Pensions show there are now more than 3.4 million people over the age of 16 claiming Personal Independence Payments . However, those statistics do not include people in Scotland who have either transferred from PIP to Adult Disability Payment , or new claimants of the devolved disability benefit.
People on the highest levels of both the daily living and mobility components will receive ££9,583.60 over the 2024/25 financial year - completely tax-free. Disabling conditions and number of claimants - October 2023 These are the main disability categories, the umbrella term by which a total of 547 other conditions fall under. This list is only an overview of conditions, disorders and diseases and how the DWP lists the main disabilities being claimed for.
You usually need to have lived in the UK for at least two of the last three years and be in the country when you apply. How you are assessed You will be assessed by an independent healthcare professional to help the DWP determine the level of financial support, if any, you need, for PIP.
