It is my 1st assessment, I would welcome your comments please. I am not too bad , continuously out of breath now, just walking. Thank you patricia7.

Hi

PIP or Personal independent Payment is a UK benefit, for people with mobility and care needs. As it is not means tested paid on top of any other benefits that you receive whether in employment or otherwise .

The face to face assessment is ensure you meet the criteria.
