PIP disability payment in the UK: the amounts and how it is made up

PIP (Personal Independence Payment) helps with the extra costs of a long-term illness or disability. What you get depends not on your diagnosis but on how difficult you find everyday tasks and getting around. It has two parts — you can get one or both — and each has a standard and an enhanced rate.

Daily living part

• Standard rate — £76.70 a week.
• Enhanced rate — £114.60 a week.

Mobility part

• Standard rate — £30.30 a week.
• Enhanced rate — £80 a week.

Which rate you get is set by a DWP assessment, scored separately for each part. PIP is usually paid every 4 weeks. If a payment date falls on a bank holiday, it is usually paid before.

How it works in practice

The two parts are counted independently: you can get just daily living, just mobility, or both. The most is the enhanced rate on both parts. You claim through the DWP, which then arranges the assessment that sets your rates and how long the award runs.

Amounts are from the current GOV.UK page. Benefit rates are reviewed periodically — check gov.uk/pip before you claim.
