How Much Is PIP Per Week in 2026?

Updated May 2026 · 7 min read · By PIPexpert

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.

Important: PIP is tax-free, not means-tested, and paid regardless of savings, income, or whether you work. It can also be paid on top of Universal Credit, ESA, and other benefits.

What Else Does PIP Unlock?

Getting PIP can entitle you to additional benefits and premiums:

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.
