Personal Independence Payment (PIP) is a benefit for people over 16 and under State Pension age. It is available for those who need additional help with daily living tasks as a result of a long-term illness, disability or mental or physical health condition.
Following the annual benefits uprating in April, successful PIP or ADP claimants could receive between £26.90 and £172.75 each week in additional financial support and as the benefit is paid every four weeks. This amounts to between £107.60 and £691.00 every payment period, Daily Record reports.
While many claimants may be aware of the list of changes in circumstances that must be reported to the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) in order for them to continue receiving uninterrupted payments, there are several changes that do not need to be declared.
