Thousands of older people will receive up to £1,506 each month from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) if they claim both PIP and State Pension.
PIP currently provides between £24.45 and £156.90 each week, but as the benefit is paid every four weeks, this amounts to between £97.80 and £627.60 every pay period.
The New State Pension is currently worth up to £185.15 each week and the Old Basic State Pension up to £141.85. However, the annual uprating in April will see older people claiming the Full New State Pension and PIP receive up to £1,506.40 every four weeks, the Daily Record reports.
