Personal Independence Payment (PIP) is a benefit for people aged over 16 and under State Pension age with a disability, long-term illness or mental health condition who need help completing daily tasks inside their home or getting around.
The latest statistics from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) shows there are now more than three million people in the UK, including some 322,387 living in Scotland, receiving financial support of between £24.45 and £156.90 each week through PIP - the benefit is paid every four weeks so this amounts to between £97.80 and £627.60 every payment period.
Making an application for PIP starts with a phone call to DWP who will check initial eligibility and then send out a claim form to be filled in.
The claimant then completes the ‘PIP 2 evidence form’ and returns it along with any supporting documents, however, that could all be changing and moving online to offer a complete ‘end-to-end digital PIP service’.
