According to the most recent Government data from July 2025, there are 20 types of psychiatric disorders that could make you eligible for PIP. The data reveals that a total of 1,482,217 PIP claims were made based on various mental health conditions. Below is the comprehensive list of these conditions, including examples, and the number of active PIP claims associated with each condition as of July.
