These are the best free guides to claiming PIP that I have seen. Better still, you do not have to pay anything to get them. You will find them here:
If you would like up-to-date copies of Benefits and Work Guides, you can ask FMA UK for copies of the documents. This older version is available for free on the Internet:
They take you through the Personal Independence Payment claim form question by question, with lots of prompts on what to consider and reminders so you don't leave anything out.
When they say up to 20 metres, does that mean that you walk that far and then are in terrible pain?
Thanks for the great links. I was on enhanced for both. I only got standard care on re-assessment despite being worse. I’ve waited SIXTEEN months so far for a court date for appeal & still nothing. It’s an absolute disgrace to be waiting this long & im terrified of not getting it back or losing more. At this rate my award will be up again before I even get to court 😣
This is such a wonderful thing to do, wish this site had these as well as the benefitsandwork.co.uk, but only if they tell someone to speak to Janet, the Benefits Adviser. Think it should be changed so we can download individually.
The guide inc in the third link is an old version of the one you need to pay membership to get from the Benefitsandwork.co.uk site. It’s the most helpful guide I’d found so far.
(the most up to date version has info on recent legal challenges and DWP shenanigans but the old one will still be helpful if you can’t afford to pay.)
These guides are for subscribing members only not for general circulation, I am a member and have downloaded lots of different versions of PIP information on claiming because I am entitled to.
Hello, are you not aware that the information you posted was illegal, it is copy rite and you have not got permission from the provider to distribute, copy or transmit the information. The information you posted belongs to the Benefits and Work site.
Publishing the link to a public website is not a breach of copyright. The website storing the document may be breaching copyright but even that is legally debateable as regulating the internet is extremely problemmatical. Benefits and Work would need to take it up with each site owner. I did not post the documents on the websites. Google found them there. Anyone searching Google could do the same.
That’s good you don’t post actual documents on line but point people in the direction to the site, I am a member of the site and as I pay an annual subscription and it annoyed me when members or not post members only guides. Benefits and works is not expensive to join and the benefits of getting your award for PIP or ESA sorted stress free and minimal fuss is well worth the small expenditure.
While the Benefits and Work fee is not a lot to many of us with jobs, pensions or a decent income, I meet single people as a Church Foodbank volunteer living on basic ESA or Jobseekers Allowance of just £74.35 a week. In my area from that they typically have to pay reduced Council Tax at £5 a week, gas, electricity, water, food, transport, clothing insurance and so on. It's impossible for some people to also pay for help with benefits claims. Without our Church Foodbank to help, some of these people would starve.
Thank you so much!! Two years on and you are still being helpful
when I had my last interview she asked when I had last been out and I told her it was 8 months ago and she put in the form that I recently went out, I haven't been out in the last 3 year's but I am able to walk, dress cook ect even though I don't get dressed I stay in my pjs and I am able to cook but my boyfriend does all of that, they even said I'm of a healthy weight and don't talk in mono tone 😲 also I am polite so there for can get a job, I didn't appeal because I was a mess after that and didn't have any fight in ne
I will try, my doctor knows I have anxiety with my bipolar and don't speak to him on the fone, my boyfriend is the one who speaks on the fone on my behalf and has done for year's, I've also told the doctor in a letter years ago not to make me any appointments because I won't show as I don't like leaving the house so I will definitely see if he can help in anyway and see if there's any one who can help with the forms but if I get turned down again I will leave it at that because I can't afford more stress and worrying and I think they know that and that's why they do what they do, thankyou for getting back to me😊
