What changed

More people, more claims or bigger payments?

Great Britain, Personal Independence Payment and Adult Disability Payment: yearly spending at the rate in July 2023 and in July 2026. The chart splits the change into three parts: the number of people in the age group, the share of them claiming, and the average payment. 2026-27 prices.

What changed: Personal Independence Payment and Adult Disability Payment
July 2023	£22.1bn
Population	+£299.4m
Share claiming	+£7.1bn
Payment size	+£1.0bn
July 2026	£30.5bn

The share claiming is the number of people claiming per resident. Yearly spending here is the number claiming, times the average weekly payment, times 52. It is not the amount paid out over the year. Population after mid-2024 stays at the mid-2024 figure, so later growth shows in the share claiming. Scottish areas are left out because Social Security Scotland pays this benefit.
