<p>Under Personal Independence Payment (PIP) a higher proportion of people with a
mental health condition receive the top rates than under Disability Living Allowance
(DLA): 65 per cent get the enhanced Daily Living rate compared to 22 per cent under
DLA; and 33 per cent get the enhanced mobility award compared to 10 per cent under
DLA.</p><p> </p><p>Regular reviews of PIP, which can be paid at one of eight rates,
are a key feature of the benefit and ensure that not only do awards remain correct
where needs may change, including where needs become greater, but that we also maintain
contact with the claimant.</p>
