Introduction to PIP

Course overview

PIP (or Personal Independence Payments to give it it's full name) is claimed by over 3.5 million people in the UK. Somewhat uniquely, claimants can work and earn as much as they like without any effect on their benefit payments. This session explores who PIP is for and what costs it is intended to cover. We consider the basic eligibility criteria and then take a closer look at the PIP assessment process. This session is ideal for those professionals who would like to try their hand at assisting service users to complete the PIP assessment questionnaire, but is also suitable for anyone who simply wants a better understanding of PIP.
