Personal Independence Payment (PIP) is a tax-free, non-means tested benefit for people over the age of 16 who have a physical or mental disability and need help taking part in everyday life, or have difficulty getting around outside the home.
PIP replaced Disability Living Allowance (DLA) for people aged 16 or over in 2013 and anyone still receiving this benefit will eventually be asked to make a claim for PIP instead . It’s worth pointing out that if your level of care or mobility needs change and you currently receive DLA, the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) will invite you to apply for PIP.
However, if you reached the age of 65 by April 8, 2013, you can keep and renew your DLA award and won't be asked to claim PIP.
If a PIP award ends after you reach State Pension age, which is now 66 for men and women across the UK, you can re-claim the benefit within one year of your previous award ending - as long as your new claim relates to substantially the same physical or mental conditions or a new condition which developed as a result of the one for which the previous award was made.
You do not have to meet the three-month qualifying period condition to claim, but if you leave it longer than a year or your claim relates to a different condition, you need to claim Attendance Allowance instead.
If you are receiving PIP payments before you reach State Pension age, they will continue to be paid on top of your pension.
PIP is made up of two parts - a daily living and mobility component.
In the case of the mobility component, there is an additional restriction - you can only receive an award of the enhanced rate in the new claim if you were receiving that rate in the previous award, even if your mobility needs have increased.
