Where are you with your PIP?
So we can point you to the right next step.
- Your daily living and mobility points, as you go
- The rate for each part, and what it’s worth
- The right next step for where you are
Apply these three rules to every activity.
They’re the same tests a DWP decision maker uses. Score yourself the way the assessor will.
Highest descriptor only
If two descriptors fit one activity, only the higher one counts. Never add both.
The reliability rule
You can only count as able to do something if you can do it safely, to an acceptable standard, repeatedly and in a reasonable time.
The 50% rule
A descriptor applies if it fits you on more than half of days. Describe how you are on most days, not your best.
| Part | Standard rate | Enhanced rate |
|---|---|---|

| Mobility (activities 11 and 12) | 8 to 11 points: £30.30 a week | 12 or more: £80.00 a week |

PIP scoring questions answered.
It uses the official descriptors and 2026/27 rates. It’s a guide, not a guarantee: the DWP decides from your PIP2 form and assessment report. Two people with the same condition can score differently depending on how they describe it.
Yes. The descriptors are the same legal tests in force since 2013. What changed in April 2026 was the payment rates, which this calculator uses.
No. Nothing you choose leaves your browser. If you want to keep your score, take a screenshot of the results.
Standard applies with 8 to 11 points in a part, enhanced with 12 or more. Daily living pays £76.70 (standard) or £114.60 (enhanced) a week; mobility pays £30.30 or £80.00.
No. They’re scored separately. You can get one part, both or neither, depending on the points in each.
No. The 4-point rule never became law. It was removed from the Bill on 1 July 2025, so points still add up across activities.
If you scored higher here, ask for a mandatory reconsideration within one month of your decision letter. A free case review shows how we’d argue your hardest activity, within 3 hours.
