can any member tell me if claimed and received what they call personal independent payment.just been advised by cab to claim it
Hi neilrollo, as I understand it Personal Independence Payment (PIP) is the replacement for the old Disability Living allowance which stopped a few months back.
I dont know much about how PIP works but the old DLA was in two parts a mobility allowance and a care allowance and depending on the type and severity of your disability you could claim for either part or both, as I understand it many claims were turned down but you do get the chance to reapply with new evidence and or appeal the first decision.
I would imagine that the new PIP is similar but your best bet would be to google PIP, here Ive done it for you and here are the results just click through them and im sure you will find some answers.
