Who is eligible for PIP?

[ch 3: page 24]

To be eligible you must have a long-term health condition or disability and face difficulties with “daily living” or getting around or both.

You must have had these difficulties for three months and expect them to last for at least nine months, unless you are terminally ill and do not expect to live for more than six months.

You can get PIP whether you are in or out of work. New claimants must be aged 16 or over and not have reached State Pension age (see page 29).
