People with any of the health conditions listed below could be eligible for up to £627 a month in Personal Independence Payments (PIP), the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has said. At a time when millions across the country are keeping a very close eye on their finances amid he cost of living crisis, any extra money can be incredibly important.
A new claim for PIP or Adult Disability Payment could help with daily living or mobility costs, the Daily Record reports. 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.
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.
