The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) recently confirmed that almost three million people across the UK are in receipt of Personal Independence Payment (PIP) benefits, but the amount of help a claimant gets depends on the type of condition they have. The DWP then has to made a judgement on how it think this condition impacts a claimant's life.
PIP payments are paid every four weeks, with claimants receiving anything from £97.80 to £627.60 per month. The benefit also comes into two parts, comprising a daily living part for people struggling with everyday tasks and mobility support for those needing help moving around, the Mirror reports.
Both parts of the benefit come with a standard rate and an enhanced rate. Being eligible to claim either one or both of these depends on how difficult people find everyday tasks and getting around.
