PIP is designed to offer financial aid to those who are living with a health condition or disability, and can help with a number of day-to-day costs. The payment is tax-free and can be claimed by individuals whether they are in work or not. The amount an individual receives from PIP will vary from person to person as the benefit is based on how a condition affects someone, rather than the condition itself.
Regardless, recipients of PIP will wish to receive the full amount to which they are entitled, and additional payments will be welcomed.
Those claiming PIP will be used to receiving payments from the Department of Work and Pensions (DWP), however, some could receive an additional sum from Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (HMRC).
This payment could be worth up to £4,600 - significantly assisting those with certain conditions.
The payment is made to those currently claiming PIP, and who are able to work.
