Has anyone has experience of re-applying for PIP but have had joint replacements in the 2 years since first being awarded? And what was the outcome? Although I've had my knees replaced 🙂I struggle with my hips now 🙁

Hi catgirl

I have not had to reapply for pip yet and have not had any joint replacements either.sorry I cannot help. All I can advise 're your pip is be honest and describe your worst days.

Hope someone comes along with experience for you

Since initially being awarded PIP (4 years) I have had both hips and both knees replaced as well as further surgery in feet. I've just reapplied for PIP, even though original award was set until June 2018- can't offer any advice but would be very interested in any response given.
