Personal Independence Payment (PIP) may be available in England if you are aged 16 to State Pension age and a long-term physical or mental health condition affects your daily living or mobility. The difficulties normally need to have lasted, or be expected to last, for at least 12 months and affect you on more than half of days. You start a claim through the official GOV.UK PIP service, usually by telephone, followed by information about how your condition affects you and possibly an assessment. The DWP makes the decision based on your individual circumstances, so check GOV.UK for current rules and guidance.
