Tax-free support ranging from £28.70 to £184.30 per week for working-age adults (16-66) with long-term health conditions or disabilities
PIP is a non-means-tested benefit for working-age adults (16-66) who have difficulty with daily living tasks or getting around due to a long-term physical or mental health condition.
