The amount of money Personal Independence Payment (PIP) gives you depends on how your condition affects your daily living and mobility, rather than the condition itself. PIP is made up of two distinct parts: a daily living component and a mobility component. You might receive payments for one or both of these components, each paid at either a standard or enhanced rate.
PIP Payment Rates (2024/25)
The weekly rates for Personal Independence Payment (PIP) for the 2024/25 financial year are as follows:
| Component | Standard Weekly Rate | Enhanced Weekly Rate |
|---|---|---|
| Daily Living | £72.65 | £108.55 |
| Mobility | £28.70 | £75.75 |
While these rates are given weekly, PIP payments are typically made every four weeks directly into your bank account.
Understanding PIP Components
Your PIP award will be determined by an assessment that evaluates how your disability or health condition impacts your ability to perform certain tasks related to daily living and moving around.
- Daily Living Part: This component provides support for individuals who need help with everyday tasks. This can include a range of activities such as preparing and eating food, managing medicines, washing and bathing, dressing, managing toilet needs, communicating, reading, and interacting with others.
- Mobility Part: This component is designed for individuals who require assistance with getting around. This covers aspects like planning and following journeys, or physically moving around outdoors.
The specific rate you receive for each component—either the standard rate or the enhanced rate—is based on the number of points awarded during your assessment. These points reflect the degree of difficulty you experience with these activities, ensuring the payment reflects your individual needs.
