The latest statistics from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) show that, by the end of October 2022, there were more than three million people across Great Britain claiming Personal Independence Payment (PIP).
The regional breakdown includes nearly 330,000 claimants living in Scotland, 2.6million in England and 226,000 in Wales. PIP is gradually being replaced in Scotland by the devolved benefit, Adult Disability Payment (ADP), which rolled out nationwide to new claimants at the end of August after a phased rollout which began in March.
At the end of October 2022, some 3,470 people were in receipt of ADP. A successful claim for PIP or ADP is worth between £24.45 and £156.90 each week in additional financial support, and, as the benefit is paid every four weeks, this amounts to between £97.80 and £627.60 every payment period.
The new data also revealed that there are now more than 135,530 people receiving support for 24 types of respiratory conditions including Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, Cystic Fibrosis, chronic bronchitis, emphysema and pneumonia.
