Help text: This is the number of Personal Independence Payment (PIP) claims currently being paid to people aged 60 and over in an area. PIP helps with some of the extra costs caused by a long-term physical or mental health condition or disability, and have difficulty doing certain everyday tasks or getting around because of your condition. You can get PIP even if you’re working, have savings or are getting most other benefits.

There are 2 parts to PIP: a) a daily living part - if you need help with everyday tasks, b) a mobility part - if you need help with getting around. If you might have less than 6 months to live, you’ll automatically get the daily living part. Whether you get the mobility part depends on your needs.

PIP started to replace Disability Living Allowance (DLA) for people aged 16 or over from 8 April 2013, except for those born on or before 8 April 1948. You must also be under State Pension age if you’ve not received PIP before.

Statistical disclosure control has been applied with Stat-Xplore, which guards against the identification of an individual claimant.
