Despite living in European countries, these claimants continue to receive PIP, a disability benefit funded by UK taxpayers. Known colloquially as the ‘Costa Del Dole’ rule, it enables British citizens who have relocated to continental Europe to access PIP while enjoying life in foreign villas. Current figures reveal 2,244 people are claiming PIP while living in the European Union.
