DWP evidence required to claim PIP £172 a week benefit

Anyone applying for Personal Independence Payments from the Government will need to provide evidence to support their claim - here is a list of documents you will be asked to send in.

The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has detailed the evidence needed for a PIP claim. More than three million people in the UK receive the benefit, which pays up to £172.75 a week for the extra costs of dealing with a long-term health condition or disability.

People get PIP if they can show they are struggling with everyday tasks and getting around. It's usually paid every four weeks and is one of the Government payouts that are exempt from the benefit cap, reports BirminghamLive.
