What is Personal Independence Payment (PIP)?

Personal Independence Payment (PIP) is a benefit paid to people to help pay for the additional costs of a disability or long-term illness. PIP was introduced in 2013 to replace Disability Living Allowance (DLA). You can no longer apply for DLA over the age of 16 and anyone receiving DLA will be moved across onto PIP. For young people under the age of 16, the DLA for children is still in place.

And, for the vast majority of people affected, there is no cure. This two minute film brings to life the impact of macular disease.
