“Specific physical or mental disablement” - Is there a definition?

This question is posed as I have a client who is suffering from a considerable amount of pain that would, if diagnosed, fit him into multiple activities under Schedule 2 & 3 of the ESA regs.  Problem is that after many, many medical investigations no diagnosis can be given.  Does this then fall from the definition of “Specific”.

As usual, thank you in advance.
