How do I make a PIP claim in Wales and are the rules different from the rest of the UK?

A ClaimGuide Team Answered by

Personal Independence Payment (PIP) is handled by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) in Wales, and the eligibility rules are generally the same as in England. You can start a claim through the official GOV.UK PIP page or by phone, then explain how your condition affects daily living and mobility activities over time. You may be asked to complete a form and attend an assessment, with Welsh-language support available if needed. The DWP decides whether you qualify and what rate applies based on your individual circumstances.
