PIP Guide
Our PIP guide is designed to help you through the process of claiming a Personal Independence Payment
The guide is regularly updated.

Personal independence payment (PIP) is a benefit for people who need help taking part in everyday life or who find it difficult to get around
It replaces disability living allowance for people between the ages of 16 and 64 inclusive. In 2012, there were over 3 million DLA claimants in the UK; the Government estimates 600,000 fewer disabled people will qualify for PIP by 2018.
Disability Rights UK has produced this guide to help you through the claiming process.
The guide covers information on:
- The PIP rules
- The scoring system
- The activities and descriptors
- Filling out the claim form
- Keeping a diary
- The face to face consultation with a healthcare professional
- What to do if you are not happy with your decision
- Further help and information
Please allow 10 working days for delivery. Everything is posted 2nd Class by Royal Mail. For orders of five or more copies of a Disability Rights UK product or publication, please email: steve.newsham@disabilityrightsuk.org
