If you claim PIP or a range of other benefits, you can now check online to find out when your next payment is due and how much they you will receive. The service also shows payments made during the previous three months and could save you a call to the PIP helpline.
As well as PIP, the service covers adult DLA, AA, all types of ESA and JSA, Pension Credit and State Pension.
You will need a GOV.UK One Login, which you can create if you do not already have one. You may also be asked to prove your identity, normally using photo ID such as a passport or driving licence.
However, appointees and others managing someone else’s benefits cannot use the service. It is also not available to people living outside the UK.
Universal Credit is not included. Claimants should continue to check their UC payments through their existing online account.
You can check your benefits and State Pension payments here.
This service is in addition to the get proof of your benefits and state pension service which is also available via GOV.UK.
