People claiming Personal Independence Payments (PIP) have reported that there has been a delay in receiving their money. PIP is a government benefit that can help with extra living costs for people with a long-term physical or mental health condition or disability and who have difficulty doing certain everyday tasks or getting around because of their condition.
The payment is paid every four weeks. However, following a question tweeted by MoneySavingExpert.com (MSE) founder Martin Lewis to his social media users, many people, who were expecting to be paid on Monday, December 5, said they hadn't received the money on time.
Martin asked followers whether those who get PIP had received their payments. According to the website, more than 40% of those responding to the question, and who said they were expecting it, said the money had not arrived.
