What is PIP Daily Living Component?
The part of Personal Independence Payment for help with everyday tasks like washing, eating and managing medication.
Full Definition
The daily living component of Personal Independence Payment (PIP) is paid at a standard or enhanced weekly rate to people who need help carrying out everyday activities such as preparing food, washing and dressing, managing medication, or communicating, because of a long-term health condition or disability. Entitlement is assessed under a points-based descriptor system rather than a specific diagnosis, and PIP can be paid alongside the separate mobility component if the claimant also has difficulty getting around.
