Each April, the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) reviews benefit payment rates — and PIP is no exception. From April 2025, Personal Independence Payment (PIP) rates are rising in line with inflation. Here’s what you need to know.
💷 New Weekly Payment Rates (from April 2025)
| Component | Rate (2024) | Rate (2025) |
|---|---|---|
| Daily Living – Standard | £68.10 | £72.50 |
| Daily Living – Enhanced | £101.75 | £108.55 |
| Mobility – Standard | £26.90 | £28.60 |
| Mobility – Enhanced | £71.00 | £75.20 |
📅 When Do the New Rates Start?
The new PIP rates take effect from the start of the new financial year — 8 April 2025. You’ll see the new amount on your first payment after this date.
📬 Do I Need to Do Anything?
No. If you’re already getting PIP, the increase will happen automatically. You don’t need to reapply or fill out any forms.
📢 Why Are the Rates Increasing?
The government increases benefit rates each April in line with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation figure from the previous year. This year’s uplift reflects cost-of-living pressures and aims to keep benefits in line with prices.
