Nobody on PIP is given a lifetime payment award from the DWP.
The latest figures from the Department for Work and Pensions show there are now 3.5 million people across Great Britain claiming Personal Independence Payment , including nearly 219,000 living in Scotland. The number of people receiving the disability benefit is at an all-time high, even though the overall total does not take into account some 154,100 Scots who have transferred from PIP to Adult Disability Payment .
Some claimants will be given a limited term award for a fixed period of up to two years - DWP says these awards will not be reviewed. Limited awards with no review date are given where the claimant’s health condition may be reasonably expected to improve. A successful claim for PIP or ADP is worth between £28.70 and £184.30 each week in additional financial support and as the benefit is paid every four weeks, this amounts to between £114.80 and £737.20 every pay period.How much PIP you will be paid depends on how difficult it is for you to carry out certain everyday tasks including preparing and eating food, washing and getting dressed, basic toilet needs and moving around.
In summer 2018, the DWP announced that claimants who are awarded the highest level of award under PIP - and who have severe or progressive conditions where their needs are expected to stay the same or increase - will receive an ongoing award of PIP with a 'light touch' review every 10 years.
