People who are receiving Personal Independence Payment (PIP)<\/a> will soon start receiving the new rates of payment for the benefit.<\/p>\n Most DWP<\/a> and HMRC benefits have gone up by 1.7 per cent this April, with the exception of the State Pension<\/a> and Guarantee Credit element of Pension Credit, which have both seen a higher rise of 4.1 per cent because of the triple lock guarantee.<\/p>\n The Department for Work and Pensions will begin applying the uprating to PIP and other benefits from April 7. But it won’t be fully reflected in the PIP you get in your bank account until the start of May, as we have detailed below.<\/p>\n PIP has come under the spotlight as part of new reforms of disability and incapacity benefits<\/a> in a new Government Green Paper. Eligibility to PIP will be restricted by changes that mean people will need at least one score of four to get the daily living component.<\/p>\n READ MORE:<\/strong><\/p>\n The new benefit payment rates took effect on Monday, April 7, the start of the first working week of the new financial year.<\/p>\n PIP is based on a weekly rate but typically paid in arrears every four weeks, so people will need a four-weekly payment period after April 7 for the rise to be fully applied to their benefits.<\/p>\n Those who received their PIP on April 7 will be paid at the old rate. They will then become the first to see the new rate fully applied when their next PIP payment goes in on Monday, May 5.<\/p>\n The amount you receive depends on how many complete weeks of your four-weekly payment period you have after April 7.<\/p>\n PIP payment dates when you will receive the 2025\/2026 increase<\/p>\n PIP always goes in on a weekday and never at a weekend. Claimants receive their benefits every four weeks on the same day of the week.<\/p>\n PIP paid April 7:<\/strong> paid entirely at the old rate<\/p>\n PIP paid April 14-18:<\/strong> payment made up of three weeks at the old rate plus one week at the new rate<\/p>\n PIP paid April 21-25: <\/strong>payment made up of two weeks at the old rate plus two weeks at the new rate<\/p>\n PIP paid April 28-May 2:<\/strong> payment made up of one week at the old rate plus three weeks at the new rate<\/p>\n PIP paid May 5 onwards:<\/strong> payment is all at the new rate<\/p>\n All the new PIP payment levels for 2025\/2026<\/p>\n PIP awards are based on a weekly payment rate but are paid out every four weeks. So in months that span five weeks, you could get one PIP payment in your account at the start of the month and another at the end of the same month. Here are all the eight possible payment amounts you could receive from April 2025.<\/p>\n 1.
