Statistics from the Department for Work and Pensions has found that by the end of October 2022 more than three million people across the UK were claiming Personal Independence Payment. This includes 2.6m people in England compared to 330,000 claimants living in Scotland and 226,000 in Wales.
A successful PIP claim or Adult Disability Payment can be anywhere from £24.45 and £156.90 each week in additional financial support. As the payment is paid every four weeks, this adds up to between £97.80 and £627.60 for each payment period, reports The Daily Record.
More than 540 health conditions are supported by PIP or ADP, but a study from the forum Benefits and Work has found which ones are most and least likely to receive support, as the average success rate for PIP claims is 52 percent. However, whether a benefit is given or not depends on how much a condition or health issue impacts someone's daily living and mobility needs.
