PIP is paid at two rates for each component - standard and enhanced. You can get daily living, mobility, or both. Here are the current rates from April 2026:
Daily Living Component
Standard rate: £72.65 per week (£315.48 per month / £3,777.80 per year)
You need 8-11 points across daily living activities to get standard rate.
Enhanced rate: £108.55 per week (£470.38 per month / £5,644.60 per year)
You need 12 or more points across daily living activities to get enhanced rate.
Mobility Component
Standard rate: £28.70 per week (£124.37 per month / £1,492.40 per year)
You need 8-11 points across mobility activities to get standard rate.
Enhanced rate: £75.75 per week (£328.25 per month / £3,939.00 per year)
You need 12 or more points across mobility activities to get enhanced rate. Enhanced mobility also qualifies you for a Motability vehicle.
Maximum Combined Award
Enhanced daily living + Enhanced mobility = £184.30 per week
That is £798.63 per month or £9,583.60 per year.
What Else Does PIP Unlock?
Getting PIP can entitle you to additional benefits and premiums:
- Enhanced mobility - Motability scheme (lease a car, scooter, or wheelchair), Blue Badge, vehicle tax exemption
- Enhanced daily living - Carer's Allowance for someone who looks after you (worth £81.90/week)
- Any PIP award - disability premium on Universal Credit (extra £416/month for LCWRA), council tax reduction, disabled parking, Warm Home Discount
How Points Work
PIP has 12 activities - 10 for daily living and 2 for mobility. Each activity has descriptors worth 0 to 12 points. Your scores are added up separately for daily living and mobility. You need at least 8 points in either component to qualify.
From November 2026, new claimants will also need to score at least 4 points in a SINGLE daily living activity (the "4-point rule"). This makes getting the right wording even more important.
