The latest figures from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) show that at the end of July some 140,000 people on Personal Independence Payment (PIP) were having their claim reviewed. This includes planned award reviews and 32,000 reports of changes in circumstances. ‌

There are now more than 3.8 million people across England and Wales claiming PIP and 484,055 Scots in receipt of Adult Disability Payment (ADP), which has replaced PIP north of the border. ‌

However, many people not in receipt of the maximum PIP or ADP may not be aware that if their condition has changed and they feel they need more support with daily living tasks or mobility needs , or both, they might be able to increase their monthly payments. ‌
