DWP to issue extra cash up to £172 a week from April on medical grounds as full list issued

Brits with certain medical conditions could get extra cash of up to £172 a week from the DWP, even if they still are able to work.

Around three million people across the UK get Personal Independence Payment (PIP), awarded to those with long-term mental or physical health problems or disabilities. PIP is given to people over 16 if they have difficulty doing certain everyday tasks or getting around.

You can get it if you're working or have savings as it is not means-tested. How much you get depends on how your condition affects you. Amounts will rise by 10.1 per cent from April 2023 in line with the uprating of state benefits.
