PIP: Britons may be able to receive payment more quickly - key details explained
PIP is intended to help people with the costs associated with their condition, thus potentially easing their day-to-day lives. The sum people will receive from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) is likely to vary depending on how severely their condition affects them. However, the Government has laid out estimates of what claimants can expect to receive.
For the daily living component of PIP, the weekly rate stands at either £59.70 or £89.15.
Alternatively, the mobility part of PIP will either be £23.60 or £62.25 for those who are making a claim.
On average, the charity Turn2Us states, it will take the DWP 12 weeks from the date a person started a claim to make a decision.
Some claims will take less time, but Britons should expect some to take more.
