PIP and other benefits
Your PIP does not count as income for other benefits.
You are exempt from the Benefit Cap if you or your partner is receiving PIP. The Benefit Cap limits the total amount in some benefits that working-age people can receive. You can read more in ourBenefit Cap guide.
If someone cares for you and you receive the daily living component, they might qualify forCarer’s Allowance.
If you get PIP, you could also get other help. Read ourPersonal Independence Payment (PIP) and Other Help guideto find out about other help you can get when you get PIP, including Motability, travel concessions and extra amounts of other benefits.
