Pip application

Has anyone applied for pip that has more than one condition? if so do you have to list all of them if they contribute in some way or another in marking life difficult.

Add all conditions darling. xxxxx

[Bagpuss2021 in reply to sylvi]

it's hard when you see it all written down. thanks for your reply.

[Bagpuss2021]

thanks

I do, but only two. I know someone else who has about 5 different conditions & each were listed separately with how they affect their daily life. So in answer to your question, yes, as/if each are contributory in how they affect your daily life or mobility you should include each as separate conditions.

[Bagpuss2021 in reply to nomoreheels]

thanks. that's really helpful

[nomoreheels in reply to Bagpuss2021]

You're welcome. Just remembered I have 3, not that it makes any difference to my reply!I hope all goes well & whatever your award it reflects your situation & life.

If they affect your daily life then yes you should add them and the way they affect you.

Yes! Mine read like a shopping list now. Perhaps that’s why I’m still waiting for a decision on my Review that I posted back last April. I think that someone keeps looking at the thickness of my case notes and putting them to the bottom of the pile. I must have been a really bad person in a previous life, that’s all I can say. 😂

[Bagpuss2021 in reply to Blackwitch]

that did make me laugh, although mine is going to be the same which is why is asked. If you have waited that since April perhaps you should chase them. Good luck. x

[Hidden in reply to Blackwitch]

I’d second that. Phone up to chase.

[Blackwitch]

I’ve chased them 3 times and written to my MP (deaf ears or what?) They said they wouldn’t just stop my money (I’ve heard that before). If I don’t hear by the end of this month, I’ve got to ring them again 😱🤬. My extended period expires on 28 February, the time we were planning to visit my son in my Motability car that I might not have. We might have to hire a motor home. I can’t imagine a 180 mile trip with husband, 3 dogs, all their beds, their frozen raw food, all our clothes, late Christmas presents and me in a wheelchair on public transport. That’s why they call us The Clampetts 😂 Anybody remember the Beverley Hillbillies? If not look on YouTube. Nic xx

[Bagpuss2021 in reply to Blackwitch]

just say complaint. unfortunately that's what it takes now before anything gets done.

[Hidden in reply to Blackwitch]

If it comes to that, ask your motability car dealer if you can continue payments until your award has been sorted out (not your fault).

[Hidden]

Morning. I list all of them and then explain what they all are (the assessors have no idea). Keep everything very simple and easy for them.

It is very tough emotionally; make sure you have some support x

[Bagpuss2021 in reply to Hidden]

that is a really good idea
