Hi again,

Just wondering how we know if we’re entitled to PIP? Are the thresholds high?

Are there any other benefits we may be entitled to?

Hello, PIP is a benefit to help you with your daily living and mobility issues. PIP is not awarded on a disability, diagnosis or the amount of prescription medications you are taking. As the next poster has stated do a self test on the benefits and work site and be totally honest with your self assessment. If you get a good result then you can feel confident in applying for PIP. Gather as much information about your inabilities to preform the PIP descriptors/activities in a safe, repeatedly and a timely manner for 50% of your daily live. Remember what ever you submit in your application form will have to be justified at your Face to Face or phone assessment.
