I’m being encouraged to claim for pip but I’m really struggling to fill it in . My anxiety is through the roof every time I think about it . How has everyone else coped with this ? X

Hi there it’s good you reached out to this site. I can wholeheartedly sympathise with you and I got through it with a good friend and joining the benefits and work site. The site costs 16 pounds to join a year with their present discount (usually 20) They provide so much information on each question and guide you so well. I cannot commend them enough. Please take a look at least. I wish you well🤗🤗🤗🤗 ps I’m not on commission lol 😂 just been a recipient of their support x

Hi if you are over 50 Age UK have some very good disability advisors who will help you fill in the forms and stay with you if you need to appeal. You could also ring your local council disability rights group or citizens advice.
