PIP weekly rates for 2026/27
PIP has two components: daily living and mobility. Each is paid at either a standard or enhanced rate depending on how many points you score at assessment.
Daily living standard rate: £72.65 per week. Daily living enhanced rate: £108.55 per week.
Mobility standard rate: £28.70 per week. Mobility enhanced rate: £75.75 per week.
You can receive one or both components, and each can be at standard or enhanced rate independently of the other.
PIP monthly amounts in 2026/27
PIP is paid every four weeks, not calendar monthly. Over a full year the annual amounts are: daily living standard £3,777.80, daily living enhanced £5,644.60, mobility standard £1,492.40, mobility enhanced £3,939.00.
If you receive both components at enhanced rate, your combined award is £184.30 per week (£9,583.60 per year).
If you receive daily living enhanced and mobility standard, the combined weekly rate is £137.25.
Points thresholds for standard and enhanced rates
Daily living: 8 to 11 points = standard rate. 12 or more points = enhanced rate.
Mobility: 8 to 11 points = standard rate. 12 or more points = enhanced rate.
Points come from 10 daily living activities and 2 mobility activities. Each activity is scored from 0 to 12 depending on how much difficulty you have completing it reliably, repeatedly and in a timely manner.
You need at least 8 points in a component to receive any payment for that component. Scoring 7 or fewer means nil for that component, even if you score well in the other.
PIP is not means-tested
PIP is paid regardless of income, savings or employment status. You can have £100,000 in savings and a full-time job and still receive PIP if your condition meets the assessment criteria.
This is one of the most important facts about PIP. Many people with disabilities who work assume they cannot claim. That assumption is wrong.
PIP is also not taxable. It does not affect your entitlement to other benefits. In fact, receiving PIP can unlock additional amounts in UC (the LCWRA element), Carer's Allowance for someone who cares for you, and free road tax if you receive the enhanced mobility component.
How PIP interacts with Universal Credit
If you receive PIP daily living at either rate, you may qualify for the Limited Capability for Work and Work-Related Activity (LCWRA) element of Universal Credit, worth £429.80 per month in 2026/27. You still need to go through the UC Work Capability Assessment separately.
PIP does not count as income for UC. Receiving PIP does not reduce your UC award.
The enhanced mobility component of PIP also qualifies you for exemption from the Vehicle Excise Duty (road tax) and access to the Motability scheme.
