The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) is offering extra financial support for Brits living with neurological conditions.
It comes as vulnerable households continue to face increasing financial pressure from the cost of living crisis and may need as much help as possible, especially during the winter period. According to the latest available DWP figures, there were nearly three million people across the UK claiming Personal Independence Payments (PIP) at the end of April 2022.
Despite this, just over a third of claimants (35 per cent) were receiving the highest level of reward from the government. Furthermore, 384,832 people receiving support through PIP are doing so for neurological conditions, the Daily Record reports.
