PIP rates for 2025/26 and 2026/27: weekly daily living and mobility amounts
From 6 April 2026 the weekly Personal Independence Payment (PIP) rates are £76.70 (standard) or £114.60 (enhanced) for the daily living part, and £30.30 (standard) or £80.00 (enhanced) for the mobility part. They replaced the rates that took effect on 7 April 2025. People in Scotland claim Adult Disability Payment instead of PIP, the daily living part is reduced for people who get Constant Attendance Allowance, and people who get War Pensioners’ Mobility Supplement do not get the mobility part.
Weekly PIP rates for 2025/26 and 2026/27
Amounts are per week. GOV.UK calls the standard rate the lower weekly rate and the enhanced rate the higher weekly rate. Each row gives the date its rates took effect under the Social Security Benefits Up-rating Order for that year. The exceptions in the next section apply to every row.
| Year and effective date | Daily living, standard | Daily living, enhanced | Mobility, standard | Mobility, enhanced |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026/27: took effect on 6 April 2026 (SI 2026/148) | £76.70 | £114.60 | £30.30 | £80.00 |
| 2025/26: took effect on 7 April 2025 (SI 2025/295) | £73.90 | £110.40 | £29.20 | £77.05 |
The 2026/27 amounts equal the DWP publication Benefit and pension rates 2026 to 2027 and GOV.UK’s PIP guide; the 2025/26 amounts are the earlier column of the same DWP publication. GOV.UK says PIP is tax free and the amount is not affected by income or savings.
Who can claim, and the exceptions
GOV.UK’s PIP eligibility guide says:
“You can get Personal Independence Payment (PIP) if all of the following apply to you: you’re 16 or over you have a long-term physical or mental health condition or disability you have difficulty doing certain everyday tasks or getting around you expect the difficulties to last for at least 12 months from when they started You also usually need to be under State Pension age to make a new PIP claim. If you live in Scotland, you need to apply for Adult Disability Payment (ADP) instead.”
The same guide says people over State Pension age cannot usually make a claim for PIP and can apply for Attendance Allowance instead. GOV.UK’s guide to how much PIP is paid says, about other benefits:
“If you get Constant Attendance Allowance you’ll get less of the daily living part of PIP. If you get War Pensioners’ Mobility Supplement you will not get the mobility part of PIP.”
For people nearing the end of life, GOV.UK’s guide to the special rules says:
“You’re eligible to claim PIP under the special rules for end of life if: your doctor or medical professional has said that you might have 12 months or less to live you’re aged 16 or over You must also be under State Pension age if you’ve not received PIP before.”
GOV.UK has separate information for people in Northern Ireland.
2027/28 rates
When we checked on 5 November 2026, GOV.UK had no “Benefit and pension rates 2027 to 2028” publication at the addresses where the 2026 to 2027 publication and its rates page sit, so no 2027/28 PIP rate is shown. The 2026 to 2027 publication was first published on 27 November 2025.
How PIP rates are set each year
The Social Security Benefits Up-rating Order 2026 (SI 2026/148), made on 2 March 2026, says in its explanatory note:
“Article 15 increases the rates of personal independence payment.”
The Order’s preamble records the review it rests on:
“it appeared to the Secretary of State that the general level of prices was greater at the end of the period under review than it was at the beginning of the period”
The DWP publication says the 2026 to 2027 rates are those set out in the written ministerial statement made by the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions on 26 November 2025. The Order brings the PIP rates into force on 6 April 2026; the 2025 Order did so on 7 April 2025.
PIP reform: announced intentions, not law
Status when we checked on 5 November 2026: announced intentions, not law. Budget 2026, published on GOV.UK on 28 October 2026, says the following about the Timms Review of PIP:
“The government looks forward to the final reports of the Milburn and Timms reviews, and this Budget confirms that the government will set out its response before the end of this year. A White Paper will follow early in 2027 ahead of legislation later that year.”
“Following the final report of the Timms Review, the government will bring forward changes to how it supports people with disabilities and health conditions.”
The Timms Review collection on GOV.UK, last updated on 29 October 2026, says:
“The Review aims to report to the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions in autumn 2026 and we have committed to reporting its outcomes to Parliament.”
The statements above are intentions about a response, a White Paper and later legislation. They do not change the rates in the table, which are the rates in force from 6 April 2026. The collection also lists the Review’s interim report, dated 15 July 2026.
Payment dates and bank holidays
GOV.UK’s guide to how much PIP is paid says:
“If your payment date is on a bank holiday, you’ll usually be paid before the bank holiday. After that you’ll continue to get paid as normal.”
FedRateCalc lists the 2027 bank holidays in England and Wales as GOV.UK publishes them, and has a bank holiday today checker.

Budget 2026, published on GOV.UK on 28 October 2026, says the Government will set out its response to the Timms Review before the end of 2026, with a White Paper early in 2027 and legislation later that year. These are announced intentions, not law: when we checked on 5 November 2026 the PIP rates in force were those from 6 April 2026 (£76.70 (standard) or £114.60 (enhanced) for the daily living part, and £30.30 (standard) or £80.00 (enhanced) for the mobility part).

People in Scotland claim Adult Disability Payment instead of PIP, and GOV.UK has separate information for Northern Ireland. The daily living part is reduced for people who get Constant Attendance Allowance, and people who get War Pensioners’ Mobility Supplement do not get the mobility part.
What decides the daily living and mobility amounts?
GOV.UK says how much PIP is paid depends on how difficult the claimant finds everyday activities (daily living tasks) and getting around (mobility tasks). For people nearing the end of life, GOV.UK says the higher daily living part (£114.60 a week from 6 April 2026) is paid under the special rules for end of life, while whether the mobility part is paid and how much depends on needs; the special rules apply where a doctor or medical professional has said the claimant might have 12 months or less to live, the claimant is aged 16 or over, and the claimant is under State Pension age if they have not received PIP before. People in Scotland claim Adult Disability Payment instead of PIP, and GOV.UK has separate information for Northern Ireland. The daily living part is reduced for people who get Constant Attendance Allowance, and people who get War Pensioners’ Mobility Supplement do not get the mobility part.
Is PIP paid on a bank holiday?
According to the GOV.UK PIP guide, PIP is usually paid every 4 weeks, and if the payment date is on a bank holiday the claimant will usually be paid before the bank holiday and then continue to be paid as normal. People in Scotland claim Adult Disability Payment instead of PIP, and GOV.UK has separate information for Northern Ireland. The daily living part is reduced for people who get Constant Attendance Allowance, and people who get War Pensioners’ Mobility Supplement do not get the mobility part.
