PIP Assessment

[sabrejan]

Morning does anyone know if you can get anyone from CAB or someone of legal standing to attend PIP assessment with you.

Hello sabrejan

I would say that you have options to get help. Firstly if you haven't yet spoken to the FMAUK Benefits Advisor this may be the first port of call as she can help you with many aspects of claiming PIP with a fluctuating condition. All the information you need can be found in the post below, please click link to read;

Within the post above, we provide links to websites that may also be helpful when claiming. Many members have cited Fightback4Justice as helping with legal issues surrounding PIP and apparently it does entail a fee but less that an ordinary Solicitor would be. Apparently they are all trained and have experience in these cases, but as you understand I am not recommending them either personally or on behalf of FMAUK as we cannot be responsible for third party websites as per guidelines. However, it might be worth making contact if you desperately need help and you feel the benefits outweigh the cost. Other members may be along in a bit and can private message you about this service.

I hope this helps

Would depend on their resources at the time

Does the area or borough you live in have any charities that help disabled people with form filling and assisting in help with claiming benefits. Where i live the local charity that help disabled people will help with filling in forms and also attend tribunals with you if they had assisted you with filling in the forms in the first place, and as long as you live in that borough. Google local charities in your area to see if there is any

I was told they can only do appeals. Not even the reconsideration. They don't have the manpower or money. Different areas may do different. There may be voluntary organisations who might have someone? Poss only like moral support or chaperone.
