The latest statistics from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) show that by the end of January 2023, there were 3.25million people across Great Britain claiming Personal Independence Payment (PIP).
The regional breakdown includes over 319,000 claimants living in Scotland, 2.7million in England and 232,000 in Wales. The benefit is gradually being replaced in Scotland by Adult Disability Payment (ADP), which rolled out nationwide to new claimants at the end of August last year.
From April 10, a successful claim for PIP or ADP is worth 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.
Some 547 health conditions are being supported by PIP or ADP, but the list is not definitive and contains an 'unknown' category.
