PIP as a payment from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP), could therefore provide assistance to those with arthritis or a range of other conditions.
Arthritis is common within the UK, and is a condition which causes pain and inflammation in the joints.
The NHS estimates more than 10 million people currently have arthritis or other similar joint conditions, across the country.
Of these, then, many could stand to benefit from a PIP payments to assist them with their day-to-day lives.

PIP is likely to help with some of the costs associated with a person’s condition, and the payment is tax-free.
