Personal Independence Payment (PIP Payments) | Age UK

Personal Independence Payment (PIP) is a benefit for people who need help with daily activities or getting around because of a long-term illness or disability. How much PIP people could get depends on how difficult it is for them to do certain things – such as preparing food and drink, dressing and undressing, or getting around. PIP has two parts: a daily living component and a mobility component. Individuals might be able to claim one or both components.
