An award for PIP or Adult Disability Payment could also lead to housing support and Council Tax discounts.
Personal Independence Payment is a benefit designed to help people over the age of 16 and under State Pension age with the extra daily costs of living for more than 500 health conditions or disabilities, which may be physical, sensory, mental, intellectual or cognitive, or any combination of these.
This is because entitlement to PIP provides a gateway or passport to other benefits, such as Carer’s Allowance, and schemes sponsored by other departments, such as the Blue Badge. “However, claimants should inform other benefit offices about their entitlement to make sure they’re paid the correct amounts, particularly if there are any changes in their circumstances and awards.”
Where to find help Anyone who has already claimed PIP or has a general query about their award and what else they may be entitled to claim should call the Disability Service Centre. It also said that some changes may need to be reported to DWP or HM Revenue and Customs - find out more here.
