Hey new here first post about PIP claim

Kirst89

Hey everyone, I have claimed PIP today and know barely nothing about it only that it is decided by how your disability effects you. 
I claim lwcra already, I have Eupd MDD, migraines, spondylitis, among a few other things, I understand it doesn't matter what I have to be awarded but is there a better chance of being awarded with already getting lwcra? Also what are the chances of getting a f2f phonecall if requested on pip form?
Thanks so much for reading

Hi Kirsty welcome to the community unfortunately this area isn't my area of expertise but someone will be able to help you. For now though I recommend a look through the benefits section and the coffee lounge for fun and games. I look forward to seeing you around the community.

No. They're assessed differently.

Most people have assessments and the most common form of assessment is currently by phone.

For more information about PIP and how it works you could look at
