The Short Answer
All four PIP rates rose in April 2026, applied automatically to awards already in payment. Daily living moved to £76.70 and £114.60 a week; mobility moved to £30.30 and £80.00. Nothing was claimed and nothing was reported. The assessment did not change: the activities, the descriptors and the point thresholds are the same as before.
What Changed
The table below sets out the position, with each figure taken from the source named beneath it.
| Rate | 2025/26 | 2026/27 | Weekly increase |
|---|---|---|---|
| Daily living standard | £73.90 | £76.70 | £2.80 |
| Daily living enhanced | £110.40 | £114.60 | £4.20 |
| Mobility standard | £29.20 | £30.30 | £1.10 |
| Mobility enhanced | £77.05 | £80.00 | £2.95 |

For someone on both components at the enhanced rate that is £7.15 a week more, or £28.60 every four weeks and £371.80 over a year.
What Did Not Change
The assessment. The 12 activities, their descriptors and the 8 and 12-point thresholds set by regulations 5 and 6 of the PIP Regulations 2013 were unaffected.
Uprating does not trigger a review and does not require anything to be reported. An award in payment simply pays the new amount from the effective date.
What It Means for Arrears
A backdated period spanning April 2026 is priced in two segments. Each part is paid at the rate in force at the time, not at today's rate.
Pricing a full year before April 2026 at the new enhanced daily living rate would overstate it by £218.40 — £114.60 against £110.40, across 52 weeks. That is why award letters covering a long window show several lines rather than one total.

When the Next Change Comes
April 2027, and the figures are not yet published. Uprating is announced each autumn for the following April, so no 2027/28 rate exists to state.

Where This Sits
Uprating is the one PIP change that happens every year regardless of policy. Everything else in force, and everything still only proposed, is tracked on PIP news.
