The enhanced mobility rate of PIP also provides access to the Motability Scheme.
The Department for Work and Pensions recently announced that certain groups of older people on Personal Independence Payment with an award for the lower rate of the mobility component may be due the enhanced rate, following a change in the law. People over State Pension age may also be entitled to an increased award for the mobility part of PIP even if they have stopped getting the benefit.
The DWP guidance explains that it only applies to PIP claims that were reviewed between April 8, 2013 and November 20, 2020. “DWP were only able to restrict the mobility award for claimants if a relevant change in circumstances was identified after they reached State Pension age.”DWP has also launched a dedicated page on GOV.UK to help people check eligibility and ask for their PIP claim to be reviewed - if their mobility award could not increase because they had reached State Pension age.
The enhanced mobility rate is worth £75.75 each week during the current financial year, some £303 every four-week pay period. An award for the enhanced mobility rate, could also enable someone to join the Motability Scheme, to help them get around.
