PIP awards by health condition and success rates

Details

Benefits and Work has added a new resource to our personal independence (PIP) pages, looking at the  number of awards for all the 500+ different conditions that the DWP recognises for PIP.  We’ve also updated the success rate table for all PIP conditions.

The DWP divides PIP awards into one of 20 different categories. 

The top four categories:

  • Psychiatric disorders:  1,406,044 awards
  • Musculoskeletal disease (general):  691,426 awards
  • Neurological disease:  470,380 awards
  • Musculoskeletal disease (regional):  434,670 awards

make up 82% of all PIP awards.

These categories are then divided into sub-categories. 

Psychiatric disorders, for example, is divided into 20 sub-categories, with 396,000 claims based on “Mixed anxiety and depressive disorders” making up over a quarter of all awards in this category.

The sub-categories are then divided up into 500+ conditions, which we’ve put into a searchable database.

We’ve also updated the searchable database of success rates for PIP claims for all 500+ conditions.

You can view the PIP award numbers by condition here and view the PIP success rates by condition here.

    That list of medical issues and the percentage of successful claims makes me wonder what percentage of the population with the self same disabilities do not even claim in the first place.
    Are there any figures from the government on that ?

    This labour party is totally out of control.

    History repeats itself. We went to war in the 30s and 40s and lost many people. Then the sacrifices were rewarded with a welfare state that promised care from the cradle to the grave, now we are ending that and headed back to another war and a great culling.

    It would be useful to see more information about cardiological and diabetic issues as there is so little information on these groups

    Given what we now know, and also the fact that it will affect all disabled people receiving state benefits, I have applied for an internal promotion at work because the cut in benefits will adversely affect my standard of living....and the Govt will benefit with more tax.

    Thank you so much for taking the time to create such a comprehensive data with all the conditions. It is amazing that so many conditions exist, the body is indeed a very strange "machine".

    Rachel Reeves publicly saying welfare cuts will be £5bn. As feared, worse than anything planned by the Conservatives.

    Hello all, I have contributed on various threads.  You may have seen in the BBC news website today that the Chancellor is planning substantial spending cuts with the OBR about to publish its growth forecasts. This is going to directly impact on disabled people.

    Coincidentally, any ideas that the charitable/third sector will assist can be dispelled if RNIB is anything to go by. Please take ten minutes to listen to last week's In Touch (link below).  It's very grim, not least the acknowledgement of how difficult it is for those who are blind/partially sighted to find work.  I would be interested in other contributor's comments.

      @Anon I have read that they can force any new legislation through under emergency legislation bypassing any appeals or court challenges

      @Matt If they really wanted people to stand on their own two feet then their main focus would be on employers. Employers who discriminate instead of giving the necessary accommodations for disabled people who are able to work. 

      They're a bunch of psychos targeting the vulnerable to cut costs.

      @Matt I too heard most of that 'In Touch, I've listened ever since sharing a house with a blind person who became a lifelong friend. The state of the 'Nib' is truly sad.

      @gossamer I can’t see that happening, I feel this is just scaremongering and no-one actually knows for sure what they’re planning. 
      They can’t just implement changes straight away that that would be deemed unlawful, they’d be taken to court straight away. 
      It’s awful we’re all scared about what our future holds but I really do believe what the media posts is not factual at this point.

      @Arthur I shall certainly encourage my eligible clients to fight all the way to appeal as I do now where necessary.
