People with any of these health conditions could be entitled to £627 a month in PIP payments
People with any of the health conditions listed below could be eligible for up to £627 a month in Personal Independence Payments , the Department for Work and Pensions has said. At a time when millions across the country are keeping a very close eye on their finances amid he cost of living crisis, any extra money can be incredibly important.
It comes as recent data for October 2022, from the DWP, shows a significant rise in the amount of people claiming for Psychiatric Disorders. These include conditions like anxiety, stress, depression and learning disorders.The number of people claiming for Musculoskeletal Conditions such as arthritis, joint, chronic or back pain and hip disorders also increased by 10,200 to 1,012,415 in October, 2022.
Some 35 per cent of all claims with entitlement to PIP at the end of October 2022 are in receipt of the highest level of award, with both daily living and mobility components received at the enhanced rate.Personal Independence Payment can help with extra living costs if you have both: a long-term physical or mental health condition or disability and difficulty doing certain everyday tasks or getting around because of your condition.
You must also be under State Pension age if you’ve not received PIP before. If you’re over State Pension age, you can apply for Attendance Allowance instead. Or if you’ve received PIP before, you can still make a new claim if you were eligible for it in the year before you reached State Pension age.
