Many claiming Universal Credit or JobSeeker's Allowance (JSA) may be unaware that Personal Independence Payment (PIP) or Adult Disability Payment (ADP) could provide extra money to help with daily living or mobility costs
The latest statistics from the Department for Work and Pensions show that in April 2023, there were 5.9 million people across Scotland, England and Wales, receiving financial support through Universal Credit , a benefit intended to help those out of work or on a low income with daily living costs.
It’s important to be aware that the condition itself will not qualify for PIP or ADP, it’s how it affects a person’s daily living and/or mobility needs. The biggest misconception about PIP is that the DWP will only award the benefit to people with outwardly visible physical, long-term health conditions or disabilities. In fact, PIP is a benefit aimed at providing support for people with an ever-evolving list of 'hidden' conditions, including stress, anxiety and depression.
PIP and ADP payments PIP and ADP payments are made up of two components - daily living and mobility - paid at either a standard or enhanced rate. The amount someone receives depends on their levels of need and not everyone will be eligible for both components.

This list is only an overview of conditions, disorders and diseases and how the DWP lists the main disabilities being claimed for.
ADP will only conduct a face-to-face assessment if the claimant requests it or it is necessary to get a better understanding of how the condition affects the claimants. They can also be done over the phone or by video chat.
