The latest figures from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) show that more than 3.25 million people across Great Britain, including over 319,336 living in Scotland, were receiving PIP
Personal Independence Payment is a benefit designed to help people over the age of 16 and under State Pension age with the extra daily costs of living for around 547 health conditions or disabilities, which may be physical, sensory, mental, intellectual or cognitive, or any combination of these.
This is because entitlement to PIP provides a gateway or passport to other benefits, such as Carer’s Allowance, and schemes sponsored by other departments, such as the Blue Badge. “However, claimants should inform other benefit offices about their entitlement to make sure they’re paid the correct amounts, particularly if there are any changes in their circumstances and awards.”
Where to find help Anyone who has already claimed PIP or has a general query about their award and what else they may be entitled to claim should call the Disability Service Centre. It also said that some changes may need to be reported to DWP or HM Revenue and Customs - find out more here.
