Sites like Age Concern, Citizens Advice Bureau and Benefits and Work should be able to help you with applications. Sadly, I don't have your condition, so cannot give more information.

Hello Peachypoppers, I also have hypersensitivity pneumonitis, but I live in Denmark, so unfortunately I can not give you any advice claiming pip. All the best

Hi Peachpoppers,

the information on the Citizens Advice website relating to PIP is excellent. The thing to remember is that PIP is not awarded because you have a certain diagnosis, it's awarded because you have extra needs relating to your personal care and/or mobility.

Have a look at these links -

citizensadvice.org.uk

All the best, Biddy

Hi, I have HP which has got worse in the last year. I have claimed PIP and am waiting to hear. I phoned them first and they took details of name, address, NI number etc. They then sent a booklet of forms to fill out. All quite straightforward. It does take 6-10 weeks to hear. Hope that helps.

Hi Marie, Happy to chat. I was diagnosed 7 years ago after a few misdiagnosis! Medication kept me stable until 18 months ago. Although I was breathless as have fibrosis I did loads of walking etc. Now I’m on 24 hour oxygen and I’m on the lung transplant list. Activity really curtailed. Have been shielding all year. Really happy to chat.
