PIP Payments to Increase: DWP to Boost Monthly Amounts in April
The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) will increase Personal Independence Payment (PIP) amounts in April, in accordance with inflation. Claimants managing health conditions could receive up to £114.60 weekly for daily living and £80 weekly for mobility costs.
PIP provides funds to claimants managing health conditions or disabilities that impact their daily life. Eligibility for PIP depends on an assessment. There is no guaranteed list of conditions that automatically qualify someone for payments. The monthly PIP amounts will increase from £812.26 to £834.20. This results in a total of £10,119.20 annually for those claiming the maximum allowances.
