PIP, formally known as Personal Independence Payments, is designed to help individuals who have a long-term health condition or those who are living with a disability. The payment, issued by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) can help people with some additional costs which arise on a day-to-day basis. The amount of PIP a person can receive will vary according to their personal circumstances, as the payment is about how a person’s condition affects them, rather than the condition itself.
