The Personal Independence Payment (PIP) replaced the Disability Living Allowance as a tax-free, non-means tested benefit. It provides financial assistance to anyone between the ages of 16 and 64 dealing with long term ill-health or disability.The amount you might receive will vary between £22.65 and £145.35 per week, depending on your individual needs, which will be assessed by a health professional. You can claim for PIP or Attendance Allowance, but not both. Apply for PIP by calling the Department of Work and Pensions on 0800 917 2222.
