A successful claim for PIP or Adult Disability Payment is worth between £26.90 and £172.75 each week.
The Department for Work and Pensions has said that new claims for Personal Independence Payment are being prioritised over existing claimant reviews to ensure people can access financial support “in a timely manner”. Those already on PIP coming to the end of their award will see their payments automatically continued until a review can be conducted - there will be no breaks in payments.
He added: “We always aim to make an award review decision as quickly as possible, considering the need to review all available evidence, including that from the claimant.” Top Money Stories Today The latest statistics from the DWP indicate that some 68,460 PIP assessments were conducted remotely by video call or over the phone last month. The figure for May accounts for nearly 73 per cent of all assessments conducted.
