Nearly a million others receive the benefit due to musculoskeletal conditions such as arthritis and those affecting muscles and joints.
Thousands of people claim the benefit on the grounds that they have neurological conditions such as epilepsy and multiple sclerosis.
People can also make a PIP claim if Covid-19 has negatively impacted the status of a previously diagnosed condition or disability.
The benefit is not means tested, meaning that income and savings will not influence a claim.
Applications will need to be assessed by an independent healthcare professional to help the DWP work out how much an applicant could be entitled to and could take up to six months.
Campaigners say people should be checking their benefit entitlement at least every six months.
The maximum people are able to claim is £152.15 per week - which works out at £608 every four weeks.
PIP is usually paid every four weeks.
PIP and Universal Credit could also mean people qualify for a Disabled Facilities Grant worth up to £30,000, a council tax reduction and the Motability Scheme.
The DWP has listed all 19 conditions which could make you eligible to receive PIP.
