People with certain skin diseases may qualify for DWP disability payments worth £194.60 a week.
The DWP has identified 24 skin diseases as primary disabling conditions in successful PIP claims, according to figures to July 2026. Eligibility for payments is based on the impact a condition has on daily functioning and mobility, not simply on having the diagnosis.
People claiming PIP for skin conditions must demonstrate difficulties with daily living or mobility tasks to qualify for the weekly payments. The assessment focuses on functional limitations rather than medical diagnosis alone.
