What is PIP?

In April 2013, the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) introduced a new benefit called Personal Independence Payment (PIP) which will now gradually replace the Disability Living Allowance (DLA) for eligible disabled people aged between 16 and 64. Like DLA, PIP has two components: a “daily living” component and a “mobility” component. Each component has two rates of payment: a “standard” rate and an “enhanced” rate. Like DLA, PIP is not means-tested or taxable, and can be paid whether the claimant is working or not.

Who will be affected by PIP?

PIP will replace DLA for disabled people aged between 16 and 64, even if they currently have an “indefinite” or “lifetime” DLA award. DLA will remain for children until they reach the age of 16. DLA will continue to be available for those aged 65 and over on 8 April 2013 (on 20 June 2016 in Northern Ireland). PIP was introduced in 2013 and assessments are being carried out throughout the UK to see if existing DLA recipients qualify for PIP which has different criteria than DLA, some DLA recipients will not qualify for PIP therefore will no longer receive any benefit or will be reduced from both components to just the daily living component, PIP is expected to totally replace DLA by 2020.
