DWP could stop PIP and take you to court if any of these changes are not reported in time

Personal Independence Payment (PIP) is a benefit for people aged over 16 and under State Pension age who need extra help to cover the costs of daily living tasks or getting around as a result of a physical or learning disability, long-term illness or mental health condition.

The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) could give you between £23.70 and £152.15 per week to help with these additional costs, usually paid into your bank account every four weeks.

It is important to understand that the amount of PIP you receive will depend on how your condition affects you in your day-to-day life, which means there are no 'guaranteed' health conditions that will automatically qualify you for the benefit.
