What decides your rate

Your rate depends on how your condition affects your daily life, not on the condition itself. An assessor looks at 12 activities, such as preparing food, washing, dressing, managing money, engaging with other people, planning journeys and moving around. Each activity scores points. More points mean a higher rate.

Things that do not affect PIP

Your income and savings. PIP is not means-tested.
Whether you work. You can work full time and still get PIP.
Your National Insurance record.

PIP can increase other help

Getting PIP can mean you qualify for extra amounts in other benefits, such as Universal Credit or Pension Credit, and for help like a Blue Badge or a disabled person's railcard. Someone who cares for you may also be able to claim Carer's Allowance.
