    Sorry I cant find any figures for that question, but people do work full or part time and claim PIP so I suppose the answer is does it really matter? 👍👀

    Hello Bobroy81

    I have been in receipt of PIP for the last six years. I have consistently maintained employment, but over the past two years, I have scaled back my working hours to 30 per week as a result of my declining health.

    Hello @Bobroy81

    Welcome to the community :) There are many who are able to work full or part time. As you know, PIP helps cover those extra costs that can effect someone with a disability or long term illness. I couldn't find stats either, but I know many who have the LCWRA element to Universal Credit, which also helps those effected by additional health costs.
