flag UK PIP payments rise 3.8% starting April 6, 2026, with new reassessment rights for some older recipients and longer initial award periods.

flag Starting April 6, 2026, Personal Independence Payment (PIP) rates in the UK will rise by 3.8%, with the maximum weekly payment increasing to £194.60. flag A new rule change allows older PIP recipients over State Pension age who were awarded the standard mobility rate between April 8, 2013, and November 20, 2020, to request a reassessment for the higher rate, potentially receiving backdated payments. flag This follows a 2020 tribunal ruling that found age alone could not legally block a higher award when medical evidence supported it. flag The change applies only to those denied an increase due to age during that period and does not affect all claimants. flag New PIP claims for working-age adults will now be awarded for at least three years, with possible extension to five, to reduce assessment backlogs.
