Personal Independence Payment
(PIP)
Personal Independence Payment is a non-means-tested benefit for people aged 16–67 who have a long-term physical or mental health condition or disability that affects their ability to carry out daily living activities or mobility activities. It has two components (daily living and mobility), each payable at a standard or enhanced rate.
PIP is assessed by an assessment provider commissioned by the DWP. Points are awarded for each activity in the daily living and mobility descriptors, and the total score determines entitlement to each component and rate. The daily living component is £73.90 (standard) or £110.40 (enhanced) per week; the mobility component is £29.20 (standard) or £77.05 (enhanced) per week (2025/26 rates).
If you disagree with a PIP decision, you must first request a Mandatory Reconsideration before you can appeal to a tribunal.
