What is PIP?

Personal Independence Payment (PIP) is a benefit provided by the UK government to assist individuals with additional living costs caused by long-term physical or mental health conditions or disabilities.

Does PIP check with your doctor?

Yes, as part of the Personal Independence Payment (PIP) application process, the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) may contact your doctor or other healthcare professionals for information about your condition. However, this does not always happen, and whether they contact your doctor depends on the evidence provided in your application.

What illness can I claim PIP for?

There’s actually no specific PIP list of medical conditions in the UK. You can get PIP with any disability or condition, as long as you struggle with either daily living or mobility for three months.
