In a significant move to address rising living costs, the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has officially confirmed that Personal Independence Payment (PIP) recipients will now receive up to £737 per month starting July 2025.
This updated benefit supports individuals with long-term health conditions or disabilities and is part of the UK government’s ongoing response to inflation and disability-related expenses.
Why the Increase in PIP Matters in 2025
The rise to £737 per month marks a key development in disability support reform. The DWP’s decision follows economic pressure, increasing public advocacy, and the need to ensure that benefit recipients maintain financial stability in 2025.
This PIP uplift allows recipients to better manage essential costs like mobility assistance, personal care, home help, and medical expenses—empowering them to lead more independent lives.
New PIP Rates Effective July 2025
Below is a detailed breakdown of the updated PIP rates compared to previous figures:
| Component | Previous Monthly Rate | New Monthly Rate (From July 2025) |
|---|---|---|
| Daily Living (Standard) | £268.20 | £285.00 |
| Daily Living (Enhanced) | £341.92 | £365.00 |
| Mobility (Standard) | £105.00 | £115.00 |
| Mobility (Enhanced) | £150.00 | £172.00 |
Maximum payout: £365 (Daily Living) + £172 (Mobility) = £737 per month
This applies to claimants who qualify for the enhanced rate in both components.
Who Qualifies for the New £737 PIP Rate?
To qualify for PIP, individuals must have a physical or mental health condition that affects their ability to perform daily activities or move around. Importantly, PIP is non-means tested, meaning your income, savings, or employment status does not impact eligibility.
Key Eligibility Points:

- Have a long-term condition (12 months or more)
- Difficulty with daily tasks or mobility
- Currently undergoing or have completed a PIP assessment

How Will the PIP Increase Be Paid?
- Existing claimants: No reapplication is required. Those who continue to meet eligibility will automatically receive the higher amount starting from July 2025.
- New applicants: The new rates apply immediately to approved claims from July onwards.
Payments will continue to be made every four weeks, based on your initial assessment date.

- Keep your contact details and banking information updated on your DWP record
- Respond to any review or reassessment notifications promptly

These steps help avoid any interruption or delay in receiving the updated payment.
Why the PIP Adjustment Is Important
The 2025 increase in PIP aligns with the government’s broader initiative to modernize benefits and address growing cost-of-living concerns. It provides much-needed relief to:
- Disabled individuals managing health-related expenses
- Caregivers and families supporting vulnerable adults or children
- Unemployed or low-income citizens dealing with mobility challenges
Whether it’s transport, home help, or assistive equipment, this £737 monthly support can make a real difference in the daily lives of recipients.
