PIP (Personal Independence Payment)

Personal Independence Payment (PIP) is a financial support in the UK designed to help individuals with long-term health conditions or disabilities cover the extra costs of daily living and mobility. It’s tailored to each person’s needs and is awarded based on how their condition affects them, not just the diagnosis. PIP is made up of two components: a daily living component and a mobility component, each with different rates depending on the level of assistance required. The aim is to promote independence and ensure that support is targeted to individual circumstances.
