DWP: 19 health conditions that could make you eligible for extra £156 PIP a week

People struggling with a health condition that makes it difficult to work could be eligible for an extra £156 a week.

Certain conditions or disabilities could mean you qualify for the additional cash through the Government's Personal Independence Payment (PIP). PIP is administered by the Department for Work and Pensions and is available to those who have specific health conditions or disabilities.

While people are often put off claiming PIP as they don’t think their condition will qualify, there are actually 19 conditions, disorders and diseases which claimants are currently receiving monthly support payments for and if a claimant were to receive the largest possible amount available, they could get over £156 a week.
