What is a Personal Independence Payment (PIP) assessment?
When you make a claim for Personal Independence Payment (PIP), the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) will first check that the basic entitlement conditions (as set by the DWP) are met. The PIP entitlement conditions stipulate that you must be aged between 16 and 64 and have had difficulties with 'activities of daily living' and/or mobility for three months and expect them to last for at least 9 months. If you meet these criteria a PIP assessment will take place.
