As of January, more than 3.9 million people across Great Britain were receiving PIP, with weekly payments ranging from £30.30 to £194.60 to help cover daily living and mobility expenses. Significantly, a successful PIP award often paves the way for claimants to access other means-tested benefits they might not have qualified for previously.
