DWP profit claimants with any of those 87 medical situations to get free £737 each month

The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has identified 87 conditions that could entitle individuals to up to £737 per month. The Personal Independence Payment (PIP), a benefit provided by the DWP to disabled claimants, is currently open for applications.

With an average processing time of 15 weeks for new PIP claims, applications submitted now could be processed and back payments issued by February 2025. The list of 87 conditions specified by the DWP can be found below.

The PIP allowance consists of two components: a daily living component, which you can claim if you need help with everyday tasks, and a mobility component, which you can claim if you have difficulty moving around. The amount of PIP allowance you may be entitled to depends on whether you’re eligible for the daily living or the mobility components of the DWP assessment.

For the daily living component, the lower rate is £72.65 a week and the higher rate is £108.55 a week. For the mobility component, the lower rate is £28.70 a week and the higher rate is £75.75 a week.

This means you can claim up to a maximum of £184.30 a week – if you receive both the daily living and mobility parts of PIP at the higher rate.
