The Express says that you don’t have to pay National Insurance or have a lot of money to qualify for PIP. This means that even if you work, have savings, or get other benefits, you can still get the payments to help you with daily tasks.
PIP includes both a daily living rate and a mobility rate. You may be able to get one or both of these payments at the same time. Each of these rates has a base rate and a higher rate.
