Overview

• Using July CPI of 3.8% as a working figure, the highest PIP award is projected to rise from £749.80 to about £778.20 every four weeks, an increase of roughly £28.40.
• The official uprating will be based on the September inflation rate, with ONS publishing that figure in mid‑October and confirmation expected at the Autumn Budget.
• More than 3.7 million people in Great Britain receive PIP, while Scotland’s comparable Adult Disability Payment supports about 476,200 people.
• Plans to change PIP assessments have been postponed pending a review, which reporting says is due to conclude by next autumn.
• Separate DWP data indicate around 11% of claimants may be under-claiming by not reporting changes, with current enhanced daily living worth £441.60 per four‑week period.
