Welcome to the site Peachypoppers, hope someone can help. I just wanted to say hello. Xxxxx
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 Peachypoppers and welcome to the site, sorry I cant advise on pip, i have never claimed it so dont know, but Im sure lots on here will advise x
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 -

Thank you biddy xxx
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.
