Personal Independence Payment (PIP) is a financial support program in the United Kingdom designed to help individuals with long-term health conditions or disabilities. It provides assistance to cover extra costs related to daily living and mobility needs. PIP is available to people aged 16 to 64 and is not based on previous National Insurance contributions. To qualify for PIP, applicants must undergo an assessment to determine their level of need. The payment is divided into two components: the daily living component and the mobility component, each with different rates. PIP is intended to promote independence and improve the quality of life for recipients.
