People with certain health conditions could be eligible to claim as much as £627 per month from the Department of Work and Pensions (DWP).
Personal Independence Payments (PIP) can help with extra living costs if you have a long-term physical or mental health condition or disability which causes difficulty doing certain everyday tasks or getting around. The amount you get depends on how severe your condition is - however, you could get up to £627, so it is well worth checking if you could qualify, reported the Daily Record.
It comes as recent data for October 2022, from the DWP, shows a significant rise in the amount of people claiming for Psychiatric Disorders. These include conditions like anxiety, stress, depression and learning disorders. Overall, the number of people receiving PIP across the UK increased from 3,129,589 to 3,164,551 from September to October 2022 - a rise of 34,962 claimants.
