A-Z of Medical Conditions

A-Z of Medical Conditions

In April 2012 the DWP replaced the previous 'Disability Living Allowance Handbook' with guidance to
help correlate conditions relating to a disability.

The guide provides signposting to the specific NHS Choices and other DWP webpages for more detail
about a condition.
To view a condition, simply type the word into the “Find” or “Search”.
