Find data for your constituency on people claiming Personal Independence Payment (PIP) using our interactive dashboard.
Personal Independence Payment (PIP) is a non-means-tested benefit intended to help with extra costs arising from long-term disability or ill-health.
It was introduced in 2013, replacing Disability Living Allowance (DLA) for working-age claimants. PIP was opened for new claims in April 2013 and reassessments of DLA claimants began in November 2013.
It has two components:
Each component can be awarded at either standard, enhanced, or nil rate (where the claimant is not awarded this component).
The Library’s Personal Independence Payment constituency casework article provides further information on how the benefit works.

Until recently, social security was almost entirely a reserved matter in Great Britain, but the Scotland Act 2016 devolved significant welfare powers to the Scottish Parliament. The Scottish Government is currently introducing a new set of extra-costs disability benefits as direct replacements for DWP benefits.
The Scottish Government is now replacing PIP with Adult Disability Payment. National rollout of this new benefit began in August 2022.
DWP is continuing to administer PIP to existing claimants over a transitional period. However, since Adult Disability Payment has started to replace PIP, figures for Scotland are no longer comparable with figures for England and Wales.
