Hi there everyone.

Just heard from an aquaintance that suffering from neuropathy and other conditions linked to our disease qualify for PIP(Personal Independence Payment} benefit.

Is this correct and does anybody have tips on how to complete the form for success?

Many thanks in advance.

Spicy food which is too hot. Nasty people who have no idea on your life journey but feel the need to comment and be cruel.

Try this website. www.benefitsandwork.co.uk very good and helping. You do have to pay an annual fee to look at manuals which help you fill out the paperwork for PIP. Also have a forum.

A great link & beat me to it :)

I am currently circumnavigating the swirling pools of PIP.

Heard all the stories, so was very wary and did some googling.

Found that link from daily record (Scotland) who regularly seem to pop up in my timelines, etc with such posts .

So perhaps have a campaigning reporter.?

Anyway link offers a clear run through test, that points out how each portion is marked.

I found it very useful.

Hope it helps come the time

I used to be a disability employment adviser. Helped lots of people claim benefitthrough the Benefits and work site.
You don’t need to be a member to try this practise exercise
Important to remember you are awarded the benefit not for the medical condition, but for the restrictions to your activities.
