You may be eligible for a Personal Independence Payment (PIP) assessment if you are aged 16 or over, below State Pension age when you claim, and have a long-term physical or mental health condition or disability. It must make everyday activities or getting around difficult, and the difficulties should be expected to last at least 12 months. Eligibility is based on how your condition affects you, rather than the diagnosis alone, and the DWP decides after considering your claim and assessment. Check the latest guidance on GOV.UK; in Scotland, new claims are usually for Adult Disability Payment instead.
