The latest figures from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) show that there are nearly 190,000 adults across Great Britain receiving support through Personal Independence Payment (PIP) for Chronic Pain conditions.

This includes 27,457 people with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), 146,083 with Fibromyalgia and a further 16,340 with other pain syndromes.
