Personal Independence Payment (PIP)
The amount you get depends on how your condition affects you, not the condition itself. You’ll be assessed by a health professional to work out the level of help you can get.
If you get Disability Living Allowance (DLA)
Disability Living Allowance (DLA) is being replaced by PIP for most adults. You’ll keep getting DLA if:
- you’re under 16
- you were born on or before 8 April 1948
If you were born after 8 April 1948, the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) will invite you to apply for PIP. You do not need to do anything until DWP writes to you about your DLA unless your circumstances change.
Help with PIP
You can contact a local support organisation or Citizens Advice to get help understanding PIP.
