<p>A breakdown of the impact of the reforms on disability overall has been published
as part of an Equality Analysis of the Spring Statement package of measures (<a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/pathways-to-work-reforming-benefits-and-support-to-get-britain-working-green-paper/spring-statement-2025-health-and-disability-benefit-reforms-equality-analysis"

</p><p>Analysis of those who do not score 4 points in at least one daily living activity
for Personal Independence Payment (PIP) has now been undertaken and is provided in
the table below. This shows the volume of claimants with the 18 most common disabling
conditions in receipt of the PIP daily living component in January 2025, as well as
the volume and proportion of these claimants who were awarded less than 4 points in
all ten daily living activities.</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td rowspan="2"><p>Health
