The survey of PIP claimants aims to help DWP understand more about their disability related needs.
The Department for Work and Pensions has confirmed that it has launched a new survey of Personal Independence Payment claimants to “understand more about their disability related needs”. Minister for Social Security and Disabilities, Sir Stephen Timms, also said the project has an advisory group of experts including representatives of the disability charity Scope and academic experts.
“PIP is a non-contributory, non-means-tested, additional cost benefit and can be worth over £9,500 a year, tax free. Individuals can choose how to use the benefit, in the light of their individual needs and preferences. “In order to understand more, DWP is now undertaking a new survey of Personal Independence Payment customers to understand more about their disability related needs. This project has an advisory group of experts including representatives of the disability charity Scope and academic experts.”
How are PIP and ADP paid? PIP and ADP are usually paid every four weeks unless you are terminally ill, in which case it is paid weekly. It will be paid directly into your bank, building society or credit union account. ADP is paid at the same rates as PIP.
