Exciting news for anyone receiving disability benefits! The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has revealed that Personal Independence Payment (PIP) and other disability benefits will see a rise of 3.8% in the 2026/27 financial year. Starting from 6th April 2026, those who rely on these benefits can look forward to increased payment rates.
Currently, PIP weekly payments range from £29.20 to £187.45, paid every four weeks. Post-increase, these will go up to between £30.30 and £194.60 weekly, which translates to £121.20 to £778.40 every four weeks. The good news doesn’t stop there—this increase also applies to other benefits like Disability Living Allowance (DLA) and Attendance Allowance, as well as various Scottish devolved benefits such as Adult Disability Payment (ADP) and Child Disability Payment.
Here’s how the new PIP payments will break down:
– **Daily Living Component**:
– Standard – £76.70 per week (£306.80 per four weeks)
– Enhanced – £114.60 per week (£458.40 per four weeks)
– **Mobility Component**:
– Standard – £30.30 per week (£121.20 per four weeks)
– Enhanced – £80 per week (£320 per four weeks)
And if you’re wondering, yes, all these benefits remain tax-free and aren’t counted towards the benefit cap. The DWP will be in touch with all claimants before April to confirm your new payment amounts, but rest assured, this bump helps make life a little easier.
