Personal Independence Payments (PIP) is set to increase for thousands of people from April 2022.
PIP can help with extra living costs if you have both a long-term physical or mental health condition or disability and difficulty doing certain everyday tasks or getting around because of your condition.
You can get PIP even if you’re working, have savings or are getting most other benefits.

YorkshireLive reports the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has announced that in just four months' time, up to two million people living in the UK could see their payments rise by up to £200.
