How it works

It’s the effect that counts, not the diagnosis.

No condition gets PIP automatically and none is ruled out. The DWP scores how your condition affects 12 daily activities, on most days, safely, to an acceptable standard, repeatedly and in a reasonable time.

Questions

Common questions.

What conditions qualify for PIP?

Any long-term physical or mental health condition can qualify. PIP is decided on how your condition affects 12 daily activities, not on the diagnosis. The DWP records 535 different conditions among people getting PIP.

Which conditions are most common for PIP?

Mixed anxiety and depression (over 440,000 people), autism, osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia and learning disabilities. Mental health conditions together make up about 1.6 million of the 4.09 million people getting PIP (DWP, July 2026).

Can I get PIP for more than one condition?

Yes. The DWP records one main condition, but your award is based on how all your conditions together affect you.

My condition isn’t listed here. Can I still get PIP?

Yes. This page lists the most common conditions. Every one of the 535 conditions the DWP records has its own figures in the PIP Conditions List, and any condition can qualify if it affects your daily life enough.

Does the award rate for my condition mean I will or won’t get PIP?

No. It shows how often new claims with that main condition were awarded after an assessment. A clear form with specific examples makes the difference for every condition.

Where do these figures come from?

From the DWP’s official statistics on Stat-Xplore: people getting PIP in July 2026 and new claim decisions from August 2025 to July 2026. We update them each quarter.
