According to research from the Blackberry Clinic published in 2023, around 2.8million people in the UK suffer from "chronic back pain" - this is when the pain continues for longer than 12 weeks.
As the payment depends on how a condition or medical condition affects your daily life, there is no set list of disabilities or medication conditions which make you eligible for the benefit.

Below is a list of musculoskeletal conditions - which has been compiled by Later Living Marketplace Lottie - which could make you eligible for PIP - however it's important to remember that this is not a definitive list.
Brits suffering from issues such as back pain could potentially claim up over £737 a month from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP).
