The calculation of the rates of Personal Independence Payment (PIP) is subject to the Secretary of State’s duty to determine annually whether they have retained their value in relation to the general level of prices. The most recent review was concluded in 2017 in advance of the Social Security Benefits Up-rating Order 2018 (SI 2018/281) being approved by both Houses earlier this year. The Order came in to force on 9 April 2018 in relation to the up-rating of PIP. The rates of PIP for 2018/19 can be found here: https://www.gov.uk/pip/what-youll-get.
