Personal Independence Payment (PIP) in the UK is paid every four weeks and is tax-free. The amount depends on how difficult you find everyday living tasks and getting around. PIP has two parts with different rates:
- Daily Living Component:
- Standard rate: £73.90 per week
- Enhanced rate: £110.40 per week
- Mobility Component:
- Standard rate: £29.20 per week
- Enhanced rate: £77.05 per week
The total amount you receive can be a combination of these depending on your assessed needs. For example, the maximum weekly payment is £187.45 if you qualify for both enhanced daily living and mobility components. The payment amount is not affected by your income or savings and you can receive it whether you are in work or not. PIP is usually paid every four weeks into your bank or similar account.
