THESE WILL BE THE AVAILABLE TIERS OF CASH SUPPORT FOR THOSE CLAIMING PERSONAL INDEPENDENCE PAYMENT FOR DISABILITIES AND LONG-TERM HEALTH CONDITIONS 11:14, 08 Jan 2025Updated 11:06, 09 Jan

2025 DWP PIP changes are to provide claimants with eight new levels of disability support from April 2025. Personal Independence Payment is designed to cover the extra costs of a disability

or long-term mental or physical health condition. More than 3.6 million in Britain are receiving the benefit from the Department for Work and Pensions. A huge shake-up of the system is due

to be set out this spring in efforts to trim soaring expenditure. Personal Independence Payment (PIP) is intended to help with extra living costs if someone's medical issues make it

difficult to manage everyday activities and move around. You can get PIP even if you're working, have savings or are on most other types of state benefits. READ MORE: Points are awarded

at a health assessment for each person's ability to carry out specified activities and are used to decide if they will receive PIP and at what level. Claims are later reviewed after a

set period of between nine months and 10 years and payments may then stop, increase, reduce, or be kept at the same level. Article continues below The payment rates of PIP and most other

benefits are to rise by 1.7 per cent from April, in line with September's inflation, and these are all the new amounts that will be given out in the new financial year, as major reforms

loom on the horizon. PIP PAYMENT LEVELS FOR 2025/2026 PIP awards are based on a weekly payment rate but are paid out every four weeks. So in months that span five weeks, you could get one

PIP payment in your account at the start of the month and another at the end of the same month. Here are all the eight possible payment amounts you could receive from April 2025. 1. STANDARD
