I certainly is. For both of us, I don't get any other benefits as my partner earns just over to much. So this will be a a big help for us.

Hi, iv just been diagnosed with fibro but have arthritis in my spine us keinbocks disease in my right wrist. I currently wrk but the fatigue is thst bad I don't know how much longer I csn cope! I get help with pip but at lower rate as I only get 10 out of 12 points as I can plan a journey which makes it impossible for me to get it? There is no way I can plan or drive a long journey now as it affects me so badly, most days iv to get my hubby to drive me in to wrk due to the affects of gabapentin..to plan the actual journey I use sat nav as anyone would do to plan how to get from 'A' to 'B'? I am a nail tech so hav a sedentary job but now am literally falling asleep on the job, with a client thinking i was having an epileptic trance! My fatigue has hit rock bottom now! Did u ring up to change your circumstances or was it a brand new claim? How would i get them to change mine as i need extra gelp at home and at wrk now? Iv even had to hire a cleaner at wrk and home now too! X

Mines was a new claim. Am sorry I wouldn't know how to go about changing the claim because you need extra help. I get adult disability benefit I live in Scotland. So it's the Scottish version of PIP. Also the Scottish one is much more fairer than PIP in Wales and England.
