People are being urged to check if they could receive benefits if they have a certain long-term physical or mental health condition or disability. Here is what you need to know.
Around 2.8 million people in the UK are claiming Personal Independence Payments , according to the latest Department for Work and Pensions assessment in March of this year.
A person can qualify for PIP if they have a long-term physical or mental health condition or disability. You can qualify even if you are working or getting other benefits, with the amount you receive per week dependant on how difficult you find everyday tasks and getting around.Those able to claim the highest payments will receive £172.75 per week or £691 a month, with the payment period for PIP set at four weeks, reports MyLondon.
Many people may be put off claiming PIP amid doubts their condition qualifies, but it is how the condition affects you in your day-to-day life that determines the level of financial support you are awarded.
