[QUOTE="Pipp, post: 2685663, member: 100904"] There are some free resources, which gives basic info, but there is a membership fee for full access to everything. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.benefitsandwork.co.uk/personal-independence-payment-pip/pip-claims[/URL] I used these a lot in my previous employment to assist disabled people with claims. As despite my training, I was not aware of some of the pitfalls, or the detailed information that DWP assessors used In carrying out the assessments. ( They don’t publicise their handbook for general public use).I have been retired for several years, and aware that benefits have changed a lot in recent years, but it is important to give information not about your conditions, but how these conditions impact your daily living. As mentioned by [USER=429002]@Ushthetaff[/USER] , there are welfare benefit agencies such as CAB, that can assist in form filling. I do believe it is also useful to have the knowledge required oneself, as the form filling is just the start of the process. An interview follows, and it can be difficult to get an advocate to attend with you, due to the volume of their workloads. [/QUOTE]
