More than 680,000 people over State Pension age are now receiving Personal Independence Payment (PIP), with some eligible for a combined income of up to £1,743.60 every four weeks when the benefit is paid alongside the full New State Pension.
The latest figures from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) show the number of pension-age PIP recipients continues to grow, while the overall number of people claiming the disability benefit across Great Britain has surpassed four million for the first time.
