PIP is meant to help people who need help with daily tasks, especially those who are of State Pension age and want to stay independent at home. You don’t have to pay taxes on these payments, and they don’t depend on how much money you make.

DWP says that starting in April, PIP rates will go up by £375 every year.
The Express says that you don’t need to have a lot of money or pay National Insurance to get PIP. This means that even if you work, have savings, or get other benefits, you can still get the payments to help you with daily tasks.
How much does it cost to get PIP?
These are the most recent weekly rates, and payments will start in April. But it’s important to remember that PIP is paid every four weeks:
| Higher Rate | Lower Rate |
|---|---|
| Daily living component: £114.60 per week | £76.70 per week |
| £80.00 per week for the mobility component | £30.30 per week for the other component |
If you qualify for both the enhanced daily living and enhanced mobility components, you will get £194.60 every four weeks.
Every four weeks, you will get £107.
