As of January 2026, over 1.2 million adults receive PIP specifically for MSK conditions.
PIP payments range from £30.30 to £194.60 per week, supporting claimants with muscle and joint conditions affecting their daily living and mobility. The DWP categorizes successful claims under more than 500 health conditions, ensuring tailored support based on individual needs rather than just the diagnosis.</description></item></channel></rss>
