What PIP is

PIP (Personal Independence Payment) is a UK government benefit for people with a long-term health condition or a disability that makes day-to-day tasks or locomotion difficult.

PIP has two parts: the daily living part (daily living) and the mobility part (mobility). Each part has a standard rate (standard) and a larger rate (enhanced).

How payment works

• The value falls every 4 weeks, always on the same day of the week.
• The money goes to your bank account, building society or credit union.
• The day of your payment appears in the decision letter you received when the benefit was approved.
• End-of-life people, by special rules, get paid every week.

What about when the payment falls on a holiday?

By the official rule, when the payday falls on a bank holiday, you usually get before this is important at the end of the year, when there are several holidays in a row.

The Christmas bonus of £10

Those who receive the PIP in the first full week of December also receive the Christmas Bonus, a one-time payment of £10. It is automatic and does not need to be ordered.

Will you change anything in PIP?

The government is doing a PIP review (the Timms Review). The partial report, published in July 2026, has not brought changes.So far, the rules and values remain the same.
