PIP Rates 2024 to 2025
There are regular and enhanced rates for each of these components based on your level of need. A medical expert will evaluate you when you file a PIP claim to ascertain the amount of assistance you need and the rate or rates you are eligible for. You may qualify for one or both of the components.
Personal Independence Payment (PIP) comprises two components:
- Daily living – If you need help with day-to-day tasks
- Mobility – If you require assistance with getting Around
In pace with inflation, PIP rates rose by 6.7% for 2024–2025. You will now get £184.30 per week if you qualify for the improved rate of both components. The PIP levels for 2024–2025 are as follows:
| PIP Element(s) and Rate(s) | Weekly Rate 2024/2025 | Four-Weekly Rate 2024/2025 |
| Daily Living Enhanced Rate | £108.55 | £434.20 |

Daily living expenses come to £72.65 at the normal rate and £108.55 at the enhanced rate. Mobility: £28.70 at a normal rate and £75.75 at an enhanced rate. You will instantly be eligible for the higher rate of PIP’s daily living component if you have a terminal illness.
How Much Have PIP Rates Increased In 2024?
The proposed reforms, which seek to reduce the growing costs associated with Personal Independence Payment (PIP), may entail providing grants, shopping catalogs, and vouchers to people with disabilities and long-term health conditions instead of the existing cash awards, which have a maximum monthly value of £737.
The Personal Independence Payment (PIP) increased by 6.7% on April 8, 2024, under inflation. The majority of DWP and HMRC benefits were subject to this 6.7% hike. As a result, PIP rates increased weekly in the following ways:
- Enhanced daily living component = £6.80
- Standard daily living component = £4.55
- Enhanced mobility component = £4.75
- Standard mobility component = £1.80
In the new Pension Insurance Plan (PIP) rates, you might get anything from £28.70 to £184.30 per week, £114.80 to £737.20 every four weeks, and £1,492.40 to £9,583.60 each year, if you qualify.
This means that you will get £184.30 per week, £737.20 every four weeks, and £9,583.60 per year if you are eligible for the increased daily living and mobility components of the Personal Independence Payment (PIP) in 2024/2025. A rise of £11.55 every week, £46.20 every four weeks, and £600.06 per year is represented by this increment.
How To Apply For PIP?
Contacting the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) at 0800 917 2222 will enable you to submit a fresh PIP claim. As long as you are there when the call is placed, you may have someone else call on your behalf.
You will then get a form to complete. You will get an invitation for an assessment (which may be conducted online or in person) once this form has been submitted. Any other information may also be requested by your social worker or health care provider.
Based on this evaluation, a score will be given to you based on how well you can do certain activities. Your eligibility and the amount of money you should get via PIP will be decided by this score. This score will be sent to you in a letter letting you know whether or not your claim was accepted.
Who Is Eligible For PIP?
Personal Independence Payment (PIP) eligibility is based on being 16 or older but less than the State Pension age. Additionally, you must have a medical condition or impairment that makes moving about and/or living more difficult daily.
Unless you are terminally sick and have six months or less to live, you must have been experiencing these problems for at least three months they are expected to endure for a minimum of nine further months.
People who need help with everyday tasks often also need aid with personal care, such as assistance with food preparation, personal hygiene, dressing and undressing, communicating, and managing medications.
We have a guide outlining every medical condition that may qualify you for PIP benefits. PIP is also payable if you get care at home. Our website may be used to locate local home care services.
How does PIP work?
The DWP will evaluate the person after they apply for PIP to ascertain how difficult it is for them to move about and do daily duties. The DWP determines the payment rates based on the findings of the evaluation.
The application may also be denied if the evaluation reveals that a person has few difficulties moving about or doing daily duties. If someone believes that the decision is incorrect in this instance and they fulfill the qualifying requirements, they can appeal it.
To let the people know whether they will get PIP or not, a letter with the decision is delivered. The letter will also include the rate of pay and the first payment date if they get it.
However, if a person has less than 12 months to live, they can get PIP more quickly. Here, individuals often get the portion related to everyday life. The applicant, however, has to be younger than the state pension age and older than sixteen.
People can apply for PIP either by phone, post, or online. People will want a working email address, phone number, and National Insurance Number to apply online. Please be aware that it may take longer to receive and process a PIP application that is delivered via postal mail.
