Overview

• Those on the highest award are projected to receive £778.20 every four weeks from April 2026, up about £28.40 from £749.80.
• The provisional figure is based on July CPI of 3.8%, with the final uprating set by the September CPI and confirmation due at the Autumn Budget; the next CPI release is 17 September.
• More than 3.7 million people in Great Britain receive PIP, while Scotland’s Adult Disability Payment supports around 476,200 people.
• PIP is paid through Daily Living and Mobility components, with awards determined by the impact on everyday tasks and an expectation that difficulties will last at least nine months.
• The DWP says uprating keeps support in line with prices as ONS data shows essentials remain costly, and proposed eligibility changes are paused pending a review expected to conclude next autumn.
