The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has confirmed a detailed list of 86 musculoskeletal and arthritis conditions that qualify for the Personal Independence Payment (PIP), which offers financial support to individuals with long-term health issues. The enhanced daily living component of PIP provides £114.80 per week, aimed at helping those who need assistance with daily tasks. As of January 2026, there are 1,209,869 claimants for these conditions, with primary generalised osteoarthritis being the most common, accounting for 215,396 claims. PIP is structured into two components: daily living and mobility, with the total weekly payment potentially reaching £187 for eligible individuals. The DWP emphasizes that awards are regularly reviewed to ensure ongoing appropriateness of support, reflecting the changing needs of claimants. This initiative underscores the government's commitment to assist those facing significant health challenges in maintaining their independence.
