Hi,You won't receive disabled tax credit element unless you work and receive working tax credits. The disabled element isn't paid for you with child tax credits because it's not your childs PIP, it's yours. Anything else you maybe entitled to will totally depend on what other benefits other than PIP you receive.I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.

Your your award letter will inform you of what your PIP award payments are. As PIP is a strand alone benefit which will not have an impact on any other benefits you receive or entitled to claim. You be aware that as you claim the enhanced mobility rate you will be entitled to claim a blue badge if you drive or are driven about. Also you can claim full road tax of the car you drive and own. You may wish if you drive think about getting a free mobility car but this will use all your enhanced mobility allowance. Have you done one of the benefits calculator site to see how your benefits would or could be improved.

An Enhanced mobility award will only automatically entitle you to a blue badge if you scored at least 8 points in the moving around part of the mobility. If you scored the points in following and planning a journey this doesn't automatically entitle you to a blue badge. A PIP award can increase other means tested benefits but it totally depends what, if any you claim.
