Hi sangje

I have pasted you a link below to a post from four months ago, it is a rather long post, but it clarifies on this thread that some members have qualified and received PIP, so I hope that this helps you.

I sincerely hope that you are feeling as well as you possibly can be today?

Brilliant thanks all - I was aware people do claim but wondered how sucessful they were and if the Atos people hold it against you .

PIP is not means tested so yes you can apply for it, wishing you luck and gentle hugs x
