    Many people are carers and claim PIP their self without any issues. Sometimes it may go against you if your caring duties contradict the reasons why you're claiming PIP.

    I claim carers allowance for looking after my daughter and PIP myself. My daughter as Autism and a learning disability and I have physical conditions. My caring doesn't contradict the reasons why I claim PIP.

    thank you


    before I was claiming for physical condition aswell still have physical condition an written in my review I use aids but in my review assessment report

    Shows they given me points for pts d mental health prompting each descriptor

    Instead for using aids prepare meal bathing , dressing toileting my physical condition points are taken away


    an my partner has behaviour issues an depression an anxiety
    they have given me similar points to him

    An taken my physical induction using aids away


    Caring role partner is scared at night don’t like staying alone says he hears an sees things
    so I spend time with him mostly an go out with him do his shopping an washing etc


    but what I’ve been assased as are similar to him


    So I don’t know how it will work out

    Hi @bi786, how recently was this decision? Even if you do get an award, if it does not award you a rate you think you are entitled to due to how your conditions affect your life you can appeal it. If this is the case you can read more about it here: Appealing a benefits decision | Disability charity Scope UK
