Welcome to Scope's online community! It's great to have you on board.
There's plenty of groups and discussions which you can get involved with, and with regards to benefits, you may find our Ask a Benefits Advisor and Talk about PIP/DLA categories of particular interest.
If you have any questions. please do get in touch!
Welcome!
As @LiamO_Dell notes, there are a lot of great groups and discussions here, so if you're interested in exploring anything beyond benefits, you can find them on our Categories Page.
Great to have you with us.
Im also new on here and have had a lot of battle to get help. I am esa (in the care group) which is important to get into if you are unable to work. For me I had two things on my side I had a brilliant advisor from welfare rights who sorted out any issues that came up with my claim. I also had worked for dwp and had had to take on the esa department when people were having problems. My advice is any forms you fill in for esa and pip you give information as if it is your worst day. But also get any medical reports from consultants, gp therapist etc. Get them together phototcopy them and send them in. This gives them loads of info and gives them more of an insight into your disability. Hope you get it sorted
