Personal Independence Payment (PIP) is a benefit administered by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) to people with a disability or long-term physical or mental health condition.
It is intended to offer financial support for those over the age of 16 and under the State Pension age who require help with day-to-day living costs as a result of their condition.
Claimants receive between £97.80 and £627.60 every four weeks through the benefit, dependent on the extent to which their health affects their life.
