The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) hands out PIP to those who struggle with everyday tasks due to health troubles. Payments range from £26.90 right up to £172.75 weekly, covering Daily Living and Mobility needs.

- You must have lived in the UK for at least two of the last three years.
- Your condition should have made daily living or moving around difficult for a minimum of three months, with problems expected to persist for at least nine months.
