Personal Independence Payment

Personal Independence Payment (PIP) is a UK benefit designed to help individuals aged 16 to 64 with the extra costs of long-term health conditions or disabilities. It assesses how a person’s condition affects their daily activities and mobility, rather than solely focusing on medical diagnosis. Based on this assessment, eligible individuals receive financial support to assist with specific needs, which can vary over time. PIP aims to promote independence and improve quality of life by providing tailored help for those facing additional challenges due to their health.
