    Im finding 4 weekly a pain for my direct debits coming out as PIP is a sizable amount of my total incom. I realize its meant to be used to help my extra needs of disabilitiesthe use of taxis is variable on how many health apointments I have in 4 weekswhich is mostly used taxis are a luxury the price hikes due to Iran is incredable & depending on the driver. Im sue at times I'm being ripped off for the hospital apointments I can arange free transport but service isn't dependableno longer driving mobility scooter won't take me to drs or hospital life so much easier if monthly. I have my state pension weekly which helps regard taxis😀

    Unless you have a terminal illness then it's not possible to have PIP paid any more often than monthly.

    Hi @lindlou and a warm welcome to the community from me!

    Community transport can be a cheaper alternative to taxis and if there’s a scheme running in your area, you can usually find all the details on your local council website. Is that something that might work for you?

    Lovely to have you here and I look forward to seeing you around the community😊
