PIP is not a means tested benefit and nor should it be. People who are disabled and qualify for the enhanced rate for mobility face additional costs to get around that abled bodied people do not. It is about equity for disabled people, it is not fair that someone who is disabled through no fault of their own faces a higher cost of living, and that is what PIP addresses.
