UK's Personal Independence Payment, benefiting over 3.6 million with long-term health issues, sees rising applications.

The UK's Personal Independence Payment (PIP) is a benefit for those with long-term health issues or disabilities, offering up to £800 monthly at the highest rate. PIP assesses the impact of medical conditions, which can be physical, sensory, mental, intellectual, or cognitive, on daily living and mobility. Eligibility is determined by scoring points based on an individual's ability to perform specific tasks, with a minimum score of 8 for the lower rate and 12 for the higher rate required. PIP applications have risen, with over 3.6 million recipients, following changes in government policy.
