New claims for PIP have been replaced in Scotland by Adult Disability Payment with a similar points structure.
The first thing to understand about the Personal Independence Payment claims process is that awards are based on how your condition, long-term illness or disability affects you, not the actual condition itself. The Department for Work and Pensions makes this distinction clear in the 2023/24 edition of the online PIP Handbook.
When you are assessed for PIP, a health professional will look at your ability to carry out a range of daily living activities and mobility activities. The health professional will consider whether your health condition or disability limits your ability to carry out the activities and how much help you need with them.

Citizens Advice explains: “An aid is any item which improves, provides or replaces impaired physical or mental function. It doesn’t have to be specially designed as a disability aid. Examples include a stool you need to sit on when cooking, or a walking stick to help you stand.”
