As the expense of Christmas sits on the horizon, the dates for when payments will land in bank accounts become a focus for many. One benefit that will be impacted by changes is Personal Independence Payments (PIP).
The government payment is in place to help with the extra living costs that people with long-term physical disabilities and mental health conditions face. As Brits face up to the effects of the rises in the cost of living, this year's payments are particularly important. Many will be keeping an eye on when cash will be deposited in accounts.
There are two aspects to PIP - the daily living part, for people who need help with everyday tasks, and the mobility part, which helps people with mobility problems. The daily living part is worth up to £92.40 per week and the mobility part can pay as much as £64.50 per week.
