Hi welcome to the Scope community
Yes I think it's worth it. At the end of the day you've nothing to lose -
Hi @Jenniepj71,
Have you had a look at our benefits checker tool on our website? It's very handy and should give you an idea of what benefits (including PIP) you can apply for.
I hope this helps. If you have any other questions, please do get in touch!Liam -
Hi @Jenniepj71 PIP is less about the actual illness or impairment and more about the way it affects the person. It might be worth him filling out the PIP self test to see how he could score.
