The Pip Paradox: Unraveling Affluence and Disability Benefits Research from the Nuffield Trust has revealed a striking trend in personal independence payment (Pip) claims for ADHD and autism among young people.
What's notable is not only the sharp rise in claims but also where this growth is happening: some of England's most affluent areas, including Wokingham, Warwick, and parts of Hampshire and Surrey.
This trend seems counterintuitive at first glance, as one would expect deprived areas to see a rise in disability benefits. However, affluence has created its own set of problems.
