Personal Indpendence Payments (PIP) is a governemt benefit that pays money to help you with everyday life if you’ve an illness, disability or mental health condition. You can claim on top of Employment and Support Allowance or other benefits. Your income, savings, and whether you’re working or not or social status will not affect your eligibility.
The new PIP proposal to remove 30,000 claimants with lifelong health conditions or disabilities from the review process each year has ignited a fierce debate over the rights and support of vulnerable individuals.

Medical evidence should suffice without putting someone through over an hour of questioning on a disability that currently does not have a cure. Assessment in these cases should be done every 5 years.

For people waiting anxiously to have their PIP awards renewed and have had extensions every 3 months the DWP has officially announced that all renewals will be extended for 12 months. This now gives breathing space to people affected by the cost-of-living crisis.
