Approximately 2.8 million people across the UK claim support through Personal Independence Payments (PIP).
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 or physical health condition or disability. How much PIP you will be paid depends on how difficult and safe it is for you to carry out certain daily tasks including preparing and eating fresh food, washing and getting dressed, basic toilet needs and planning and following a journey.
Not everyone agrees with the award decisions made by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) decision makers. If you have claimed for PIP and disagree with an award decision, you can challenge it - this may include asking for the decision to be looked at again, lodging an appeal or taking it to a tribunal.
