The Short Answer
PIP has four weekly rates, reset each April: in 2013/14 they were £53.00, £79.15, £21.00 and £55.25, and in 2026/27 they are £76.70, £114.60, £30.30 and £80.00. The rates rose in every benefit year except 2016/17, when prices had fallen. Back pay that spans an April is priced at both years' rates, week by week. The table below gives all 14 years, each with the DWP publication or regulation that set it.

Weekly amounts. The rise is measured on the enhanced daily living rate; the other three rates rise by close to the same percentage, and every rate is a whole multiple of 5p. CPI is the annual rate for the September before each April uprating, from the ONS series D7G7.

A benefit year runs from the April uprating to the following April, so "PIP rates 2024" usually means the 2024/25 row. The weeks from January to early April of any calendar year sit in the previous benefit year. For 2013/14 the source is regulation 24 of the Social Security (Personal Independence Payment) Regulations 2013 as made; every later year comes from the DWP's Benefit and pension rates publication for that year. Two rows can cite the same publication, because each one lists the new year beside the year before it.

How Much Has PIP Gone Up Since 2013?
PIP's enhanced daily living rate has risen by £35.45 a week since 2013/14, from £79.15 to £114.60, an increase of 44.8%. The other three rates grew by between 44.3% and 44.8% over the same 13 Aprils.
| Rate | 2013/14 a week | 2026/27 a week | Rise a week | Rise |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Daily living, standard | £53.00 | £76.70 | £23.70 | 44.7% |
| Daily living, enhanced | £79.15 | £114.60 | £35.45 | 44.8% |
| Mobility, standard | £21.00 | £30.30 | £9.30 | 44.3% |

Why Did PIP Not Rise in Some Years?
PIP failed to rise in one year only, 2016/17, because consumer prices in September 2015 were 0.1% lower than a year earlier. The DWP's publication for 2016 to 2017 lists the same four figures as 2015/16: £55.10, £82.30, £21.80 and £57.45 a week.
The rule comes from section 150 of the Social Security Administration Act 1992. The Secretary of State must check benefit rates against prices in each tax year. Where the general level of prices has risen, an up-rating order must raise the rates by at least that percentage. The Consumer Prices Index for September 2015 was minus 0.1% (ONS series D7G7), so no rise was required.
Every other April from 2014 to 2026 raised all four rates in line with the previous September's CPI figure, as the two right-hand columns of the table show. How the yearly calculation works, and what is known about the next one, is covered under April uprating.

Look Up the Rate on a Given Date
The PIP rate on any date is the rate for the benefit year that date falls in; 1 January 2025, for example, falls in 2024/25, when enhanced daily living paid £108.55 a week. Enter a date below to see all four rates in force on it, with the year's source.

Each benefit year starts here on the first Monday on or after 6 April. The DWP applies a new rate from your own payday in the uprating week, so a date in the first days of April can fall either side.

Using Past Rates to Check Back Pay
PIP back pay is priced week by week at the rate for the benefit year each week falls in, so arrears that cross an April use two years' rates. The worked example below takes an enhanced daily living award owed for 9 weeks, from Monday 3 March 2025 to Monday 5 May 2025, with the new rate taken from the week beginning 7 April 2025.
| Part of the window | Weeks | Weekly rate | Amount |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3 March to 6 April 2025 (2024/25) | 5 | £108.55 | £542.75 |
| 7 April to 4 May 2025 (2025/26) | 4 | £110.40 | £441.60 |
| Total | 9 | £984.35 |

Pricing all 9 weeks at the 2025/26 rate would give £993.60, which overstates the arrears by £9.25. Over a window of several years the gap grows, because every April adds a step.
The PIP arrears calculator applies each year's rate automatically for weeks from April 2022 onwards. For a window that reaches further back, price the earlier weeks from the table above, one benefit year at a time. How far back an award can reach, and what limits the back pay amount, is set out separately.
