The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has released a list of medical conditions that have seen people qualify for the weekly £114 Personal Independence Payment (PIP).

PIP offers vital financial assistance to millions of people throughout England and Wales. As of April 2026, over 3.7 million claimants depend on this benefit to help cover the additional costs linked to long-term disabilities, physical health conditions, or mental health challenges.

The tax-free, non-means-tested payment is intended to help individuals with their daily living and mobility requirements. Eligibility is based on the impact a condition has on a person's life, rather than their employment status, savings, or any other income.

PIP consists of a "daily living" component and a "mobility" component. Applicants may qualify for one, both, or neither, subject to their assessment, reports the Manchester Evening News.

In January, the DWP revised its payment rates for 2026, and released data including 177 conditions that people currently on PIP suffer from, including 92 new ones.

The updated rates are as follows:

Daily Living Component

Standard Rate: £76.70 per week

Enhanced Rate: £114.60 per week

Mobility Component

Standard Rate: £30.30 per week

Enhanced Rate: £80.00 per week

Those eligible for the maximum support — enhanced rates for both components — will receive £194.60 per week, equating to £778.40 per four-week pay period. Those qualifying for the standard rates across both components will receive £107.00 per week, totalling £428.00 per four-week pay period.

There were 3,926,015 cases of entitlement for PIP across the country as of January 2026 - the latest data available and released by the DWP.

To begin a claim, call the DWP at 0800 917 2222. This initial contact date is vital for backdating claims should they prove successful. Applicants will subsequently receive the "PIP2" form, titled: 'How your disability affects you'.

Providing thorough detail regarding specific limitations, along with supporting evidence — such as medical reports or GP letters — is crucial to the outcome of any application.

The DWP will then arrange an assessment with a qualified health professional, which may be carried out via telephone, video call, or in person, depending on the individual applicant's needs.

Further information and full application details can be found on the official Gov.uk website.
