        If you say so. PIP is literally the personal independence payment, there to provide disabled people a semblance of life. If they need that, surely they need help with heating. And the state pension, speaks for itself.

          Pip is not income based. Disabled millionaires are entitled to it.

          Because it is about the difference in cost of being disabled not poverty.

          State pension is not income based. It is a right you pay for as you work.
