Your local council does not decide Personal Independence Payment (PIP) claims; these are handled by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP). You can start a claim by contacting the PIP enquiry line or using the guidance on GOV.UK, and your council may offer welfare-rights advice or help you find a local support service. Council services such as adult social care are separate from PIP, although an assessment may help with care or support needs. Check GOV.UK for current contact details and eligibility guidance.
