How to read these figures

Source
DWP Stat-Xplore and the published DWP PIP statistical releases. Every figure on the page carries its own source link and the period it covers, and no figure here is recomputed or modelled by us.
Population
everyone in Great Britain with a PIP claim recorded under the disabling condition named on this page. Claims are coded by DWP to a single primary disabling condition, so a person with more than one condition appears once, under one code.
Suppression and small numbers
DWP rounds published volumes and suppresses small cells to protect identity. Where a group is too small to publish a stable rate we do not print a rate for it, and we do not fill the gap with an estimate.
What these figures are not
They are averages across a whole condition code over a whole period. They are not a prediction about any individual claim, not a measure of how disabling a condition is, and not a statement about anyone's entitlement. Decisions are made on the evidence in a single claim.

Full methodology: sources, periods, coding and known limitations.

How this page is paid for

This page is free and stays free. We fund it by selling letter tools to people who want help writing to their GP practice or their commissioner. You do not need to buy anything to use anything on this page.

What we publish free, what we sell, and the money we do not take.

If you are looking for disability support in Scotland

PIP is closed to new claims in Scotland. Disability support for working age adults here is Adult Disability Payment, administered by Social Security Scotland, and it has its own application and its own review and appeal process.

Adult Disability Payment on mygov.scot

Free help with an Adult Disability Payment application or a redetermination is available at no cost from Citizens Advice Scotland and your local welfare rights service.
