Personal Independence Payment (PIP) is a benefit for people over 16 and under State Pension age who need additional help with daily living tasks or getting around as a result of a long-term illness, disability or mental or physical health condition.
The benefit is being replaced in Scotland by Adult Disability Payment (ADP) which follows the same eligibility guidelines as PIP and is now available to all new claimants.A successful claim for PIP or ADP could see claimants receive between £26.90 and £172.75 each week in additional financial support, and as the benefit is paid every four weeks, this amounts to between £107.60 and £691.00 every payment period.
Eligibility for PIP is determined by a functional assessment of how the condition or disability impacts the individual’s ability to undertake a range of key daily living and mobility activities, and takes into account any help they need, which may include the use of aids and appliances.
However, just because someone uses an aid or an appliance, it will not mean they automatically qualify for PIP - or ADP if they live in Scotland.
