help with the extra costs arising from long-term ill health and disability and is
paid regardless of income and irrespective of whether someone is in work. PIP can
also be paid in addition to other benefits the individual may receive, for example
Universal Credit or Employment and Support Allowance, and can provide a passport to
additional support through premiums or additional amounts.</p>
