Has anyone applied for PIP because of their arthritis condition?

    Hi @Mol

    I have had a search on community discussions around this and you might find this useful

    https://community.scope.org.uk/discussion/30183/is-it-possible-to-claim-pip-and-continue-to-work

    PIP is essentially for additional costs incurred as a direct result of having a disability so certainly may be worth looking into further

    @tinkerbell66



    How did you get on with this? Can you offer any advice to @Mol?

    Hope this helps

    Best wishes

    Mol -it is not the condition itself that gets you PIP - it's how the condition affects your ability to carry out certain essential daily tasks and to walk outdoors.

    Read the Disability Rights and CAB PIP information.
