The mobility component is a part of the UK’s Personal Independence Payment (PIP) designed to assist individuals with disabilities or long-term health conditions. It provides financial support to help cover the costs associated with mobility needs, such as transportation or equipment. There are two rates for the mobility component: the standard rate and the enhanced rate. Eligibility is determined through an assessment of how a person's condition affects their ability to move around and plan journeys. This support aims to improve the quality of life for those who struggle with mobility challenges.
