From next month, people with certain health conditions could be eligible to claim up to £172 a week from the Department of Work and Pensions (DWP).
Personal Independence Payment (PIP) is given to people over 16 if they have difficulty doing certain everyday tasks or getting around. You can get it if you're working or have savings as it is not means-tested.
PIP can help with extra living costs if you have a long-term physical or mental health condition or disability which causes difficulty doing certain everyday tasks or getting around. The amount you get depends on how severe your condition is, but it is well worth checking if you could qualify.
