Personal Independence Payment (PIP)

Personal Independence Payment (PIP) – support for the person you care for

PIP can help with extra living costs if the person has both:

• a long-term physical or mental health condition or disability
• difficulty doing certain everyday tasks or getting around because of their condition

People can get PIP even if they’re working, have savings or are getting most other benefits.
