Personal Independence Payment (PIP) is intended to provide a contribution towards the extra costs of people with long-term health conditions and disabilities and is available irrespective of their past or current employment. The benefit is non means\u2013tested, non-contributory and thus paid regardless of any income or savings. It can be paid at one of eight rates depending on the level of the individual\u2019s needs.<\/p>
<\/p>
Entitlement to PIP is assessed on the basis of the needs arising from a health condition or disability, rather than the health condition or disability itself. Individuals can be affected in different ways by the same condition and so the outcome of a PIP claim depends very much on individual circumstances. Where a claimant\u2019s needs change they may see a higher or lower award or lose entitlement altogether.<\/p>
As PIP is needs-based and paid in the terms outlined above, we have no initiatives which are targeted at veterans.<\/p>"}
