Older people making a new claim for PIP or ADP could be due up to £1,506 each month

The latest figures from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) show that at the end of July 2023, there were nearly 3.4 million people across Great Britain claiming Personal Independence Payment (PIP).

The latest statistics also indicate more than half a million people of State Pension age are also in receipt of the disability payment.Some 520,081 older people in Scotland, England and Wales are getting support of between £107.60 and £691.00 every four-week pay period.

It’s important to be aware new claims for PIP have been replaced in Scotland by Adult Disability Payment (ADP), so the figures could be higher as more existing claimants are transferred from DWP to the devolved Social Security Scotland IT system.The full, New State Pension is currently worth £203.85 each week and the so-called Old Basic State Pension up to £156.20 - how much you are paid depends on the amount of National Insurance contributions made.

Although payments for State Pension, PIP and ADP are made separately, they could provide a combined monthly income of up to £1,506.40 - based on someone in receipt of the full, New State Pension and highest PIP or ADP awards for the daily living and mobility component.
