PIP is formally known as Personal Independence Payments, and is intended to help people who have health conditions or a disability. The payments are overseen by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP), however, they will vary from person to person. This is because payments are based on the severity of a person’s condition and how it affects their lives, rather than the condition itself.
