You may qualify for PIP if you are aged 16 to State Pension age and have a long-term physical or mental health condition or disability affecting daily living or mobility. Your difficulties must usually have lasted, or be expected to last, at least 12 months and affect you on most days; residency and presence rules also apply. PIP is based on how your condition affects specific activities, rather than your diagnosis, income or savings, and the award depends on points from an assessment. Check the latest criteria on GOV.UK, as Scotland uses Adult Disability Payment instead of PIP.
