Hi, you can contact FMA UK's benefit helpine on 0300 999 0055 (Mon, Wed, Fri 10.00-12.00) or email [e-mail]

They can provide guidelines on how to apply for pip.

But would also recommend help completing it from cab, welfare rights etc if you can

I had help filling my form over the phone with Cab. I just received a letter from Capita, stating that all face to face interviews are suspended, so I've got a telephone interview for PIP next week. I'll let you all know how that goes 🤞🏾🙏🏿

I used AGE UK, they were great, also try Citizens Advice Bureau - they both know how to complete these awful forms. Good luck and Happy Christmas to you.

Do it a little bit at a time, using online guides to help you. It does seem an extremely daunting form so better to break it down into small chunks. When I had to apply to move from DLA to PIP, I used the Benefits & Work website & was awarded enhanced for both parts. I found the guides so helpful as they go through each question. You can also request an extension to the return date of the form. Good luck
