Part 1: Overview
From 8 April 2013, a new benefit called Personal Independence Payment (PIP) will replace Disability Living Allowance (DLA) for disabled people aged 16 to 64.
PIP helps with some of the extra costs caused by ill-health or disability. It's based on how your condition affects you, not what condition you have.
What you'll get
Payments will be made up of a daily living component and a mobility component. You could get money for 1 or both parts, at either a standard or enhanced rate.
Rate Daily living component Mobility component
Enhanced £79.15 £55.25
Standard £53.00 £21.00
PIP will normally be paid into your account every 4 weeks.
How much you'll get depends on how your health condition or disability affects you.
