People with one of five conditions are the most likely to receive up to £749.80 a month in payments from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP). These conditions top the list of those eligible for Personal Independence Payment (PIP).

Around 3.7 million people across Great Britain are currently receiving additional financial aid through PIP. And, as reported by the Daily Record, more than 20,000 Scots on PIP will see their award transferred to the Adult Disability Payment (ADP).

PIP and ADP offer weekly support ranging from £29.20 to £187.45, which equates to £116.80 or £749.80 every four-week pay period. These disability benefits aim to assist individuals with the extra costs associated with living with a disability, long-term illness, or physical or mental health condition.

Many may not realise that PIP and ADP can provide assistance for over 500 health conditions. Both benefits could help individuals with daily living tasks or mobility, or both.

The disability benefit is determined by how a person’s health condition impacts their ability to perform daily living tasks such as cooking, washing, eating, dressing and interacting with others in a safe and timely manner. There are also awards available to assist if you have difficulty moving around.

This implies that each claim for PIP or ADP is unique to the individual applicant, which could potentially assist those considering making a new claim to initiate the process. Here’s a comprehensive overview of PIP and ADP, including the five most commonly claimed conditions and the primary disabling conditions, as categorised by the DWP.

PIP cannot be backdated, but payments commence from the date the claim was lodged, to account for the processing time at the DWP.
