Hello guys,

Well, it’s been a while but yet again I find myself in a position that I am in need of some advise/ input from you lovely people!

I was wondering if anybody has been successful in claiming PIP? For the symptoms of PBC! That can make life intolerable at times! Such as fatigue, brain fog, confusion and forgetfulness etc and the list goes on! I do feel that having PBC symptoms such as these are a real game changer! I accept that I am getting older and yes forgetfulness and confusion, deafness etc are all symptoms of old age but the symptoms from having PBC are much more exaggerated and can make you feel like curling up in a corner, especially if you are trying to keep in with the swing of things ( such as working with others, socialising, even with loved ones who do understand) it can be very daunting 🥺but it is is expected of you until you reach state pension age to work! Even if everyday feels like an impossible task!

Anyway, I just wondered if anybody knows if it is possible to apply and receive this benefit?

Kind regards,

Sallam
