The Department for Work and Pensions' latest statistics show 3.25m people across the UK were claiming Personal Independence Payment (PIP) by the end of January 2023. This included 2.7m people in England, 232,000 in Wales and more than 319,000 claimants in Scotland.
In Scotland, the payment is being replaced by the Adult Disability Payment (ADP), which rolled out nationwide to new claimants at the end of August 2022. From April 10, a successful claim for PIP or ADP is worth between £26.90 and £172.75 each week in additional financial support, with the benefit being paid every four weeks, reports the Daily Record.
For each payment period, this will be between £107.60 and £691.00. Almost 550 health conditions are being supported by PIP or ADP. The independent advice and information forum, Benefits and Work, has conducted research into the latest DWP data to identify which ones are most and least likely to get an award of up to £627.60 each month from the DWP.
