💷 Great news for PIP claimants! Thousands are set to receive extra cash in their bank accounts thanks to new measures from the autumn budget. 📈
Starting April, Personal Independence Payment (PIP) and other benefits like Universal Credit will see an increase of 3.8% in line with inflation. This means more money in the pockets of over 3.8 million PIP claimants across the UK! For those receiving the highest awards, you’ll see your weekly payments rise from £187.45 to £194.55. This change is part of a broader effort, costing approximately £6bn, to support more people during challenging times.
In addition, Universal Credit is not only increasing with inflation but also getting an additional boost thanks to a new law, promising a 6.2% rise come April 2026. That translates to an extra £6 per week for individual claimants!
Who qualifies for PIP? If you’re living with conditions like osteoarthritis, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, or any from a long list of other health issues, you might be eligible. The best part? PIP isn’t means-tested, and your income or savings won’t affect your claim.
To apply for PIP, you’ll need to undergo an assessment with an independent healthcare professional. This can be done in various ways, including face-to-face, phone, or video calls, depending on DWP’s decision.
