Challenge your PIP award decision and ask the DWP to look at your claim again

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 or physical health condition or disability.

Since April 11, the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) could give you between £24.45 and £156.90 each week, however, the benefits is usually paid every four weeks so this amounts to between £97.80 and £627.60 every payment period.

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.
