PIP, which is formally known as Personal Independence Payments, provides support to individuals with a long term health condition or disability. The payment is overseen by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP), responsible for ensuring Britons receive the amount to which they are entitled. Under the rules of PIP, claimants will receive sums which correspond to the way their condition affects them 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.
