PIP List of Medical Conditions UK: The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has provided a list of health problems that count for Personal Independence Payment (PIP). There are 21 main groups of health issues, and we’ve explained them here along with how PIP works.

In the UK people with specific health conditions that affect their daily lives and ability to move might qualify to get almost £750 a month (or £172.75 a week) through PIP. This money helps those who need extra care or have trouble getting around because of a health problem or disability.
