What this means
Plain-language commentary is added alongside the verified data when each condition is populated.
Limitations
- DWP does not publish per-condition clearance times or per-condition tribunal outcomes, so those figures are not shown here.
- PIP condition categories reflect the primary disability recorded at the point of claim; many claimants have more than one condition.
- This is the DWP category Anxiety and depressive disorders (mixed). Separate categories exist for other anxiety disorders (31,550 claimants) and depressive disorder (83,696 claimants) on the same October 2024 basis.
- A refresh to the April 2026 DWP release is in progress; these figures will be upgraded to current primary Stat-Xplore data.
If you are mid-claim, the Anxiety and depression (mixed) guide walks through the descriptors that tend to score, and the PIP Evidence Pack turns your answers into a five-document pack you can send with your form. Not benefits advice.
