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>"}

This Government has successfully reduced inflation by more than half, which will make the cost of living more affordable for veterans along with every other resident in the UK. We\u2019re also getting support directly to those who need it, with the £104 billion Cost of Living package worth an average £3,800 per household.<\/p>
<\/p>
Veterans\u2019 employment is at an all-time high, with 89% of those leaving service finding employment within six months, but we're determined to go further. That is why we recently launched OP PROSPER, our dedicated employment pathway for veterans, alongside introducing a 12-month National Insurance relief to eligible employers recruiting veterans in their first civilian role after service.<\/p>
