PIP application and having children.

hi..

going to apply for PIP this coming week as I suffer with bad anxiety and being referred for therapy for OCD, alongside referral for adhd/ autism diagnosis.

I’m a little worried that having children will a) make my application basically void as of course I look after my children but it doesn’t make my above problems any less unfortunately

B) as I have children and putting forward this on my PIP application will anyone else (like social services) get involved?


thank you..

    Hi @countrylivingloving

    Lots of disabled parents and carers claim PIP so having children shouldn't affect your application as it is to do with you disability and social services and other services don't involved during the pip process.
