Latest figures from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) show that there are now 3.25 million people across Great Britain claiming Personal Independence Payment (PIP). Of that total, nearly 442,000 people are receiving financial support for a number of neurological conditions.
A successful claim for PIP is worth between £26.90 and £172.75 each week in additional financial support and as the benefit is paid every four weeks, this amounts to between £107.60 and £691.00 every payment period. There are a number of neurological conditions which make people eligible for PIP, reports the Daily Record.
This is the list of 70 neurological conditions being supported through PIP, ADP or Attendance Allowance. A claimant’s main disabling or medical condition is recorded during their assessment. The categories and groupings are based on DWP data. If your condition is not listed, it may be classed as 'unknown'.
