Hello,
Everyone keeps telling me you can apply for pip with lupus and fibromyalgia plus all the tablets I am taking.
I am working 3 days a week but I know you can still work and claim it.
Have anyone been successful in this? I am not sure whether to try or not.
Thank you
Yes I have been successful, though it’s quite nerve wracking. PIP is available whether you work or not. However, you need enough “points” at an assessment and a lot of medical evidence. You need to answer every question based on what your worst day is to gain the points.
You can find out more here gov.uk/pip
Go for it, I work part time and was awarded pip. I had zero points but asked them to look at it again and then I was awarded the enhanced rate for daily living. It is a very stressful battle but don't give up, good luck! XX
Thank you. I think I will. I haven't before only because I feel there are people who deserve it more than me.
If you deserve it, you do. The system can be very unfairly rigorous, and depends very much on the qualities of the assessors, which is why some of us have battled on. I’m very thankful to be able to heat my house more without getting nervous about the bills.
We support everyone here over PIP.
Hi yes I was on DLA and have now transferred to PIP. I won’t lie it is a very negative and anxiety provoking experience. Get all the medical information that you can and I found the Benefits and Work site invaluable in completing the forms. It does cost £19.95 for the year. Or you could go to a Citizens Advice for assistance with it. Good luck
Only just back on here after several years away... Did you apply for PIP in the end and if so did you get it? I am on enhanced rate. It was stressful but I was awarded it first time, no need for appeal. Blondie, do let me know if you want sources of help/advice that I used x
