PIP claimants urged to check if they're eligible for £156 per week for certain conditions

In Scotland, Personal Independence Payment, often shortened to PIP, is gradually being replaced by the devolved benefit, Adult Disability Payment (ADP).

This rolled out nationwide to new claimants at the end of August last year after a phased rollout in March.

The latest statistics from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) show that by the end of October, there were more than three million people across the UK claiming PIP, with around 330,000 claimants living in Scotland. More specifically, around 3,240 people in Scotland are PIP claimants with gastrointestinal conditions.
