PIP on FND

[Mrsalillie]

I wonder if any of you with FND got PIP and enhanced mobility.

My main problem is my mobility as I get paralysed on my left side, however of course, it is not every day as I do have good days.

On my assessment day I was quiet mobile and just think that people might not believe on my problem as it is not there all the time.

Any advice please

TIA

No advice sorry but wanted to wish you good luck. I'd wondered about this myself although not looked into much yet. Good luck

I think people here have had mixed outcomes from this situation and it is a very hard one. I used charity to help me and they helped me to get ESA but I was refused my PIP because my condition fluctuated too much and the rules are very complicated and not publicly published which is why the charity helps because they have copies of lower key legislation which affects the decision and can pretty much tell you from the get go if you would be successful so they can help you decide whether to claim and if you do how to do it. In short, that they have inside information which they will have used to help you.

I can't remember all the rules but there's things like you have to have been ill for about three to six months before and expect to be ill for at least 9 months ahead and have fluctuations for at least more than 50% of the time plus all the obvious stipulations so it's very complicated. I used to work in welfare and I still needed the help of professional charity all the best love and prayers x ♡
