Hi @lynnh,
Welcome to Scope's online community! It's great to have you here.
Have you had a look at our benefits calculator? It's a handy little tool which can help you find out which benefits you're entitled to.
There's also some more information about PIP and eligibility on the Gov.UK website.
I hope this helps. If you have any other questions, then please do get in touch!0 -
Don't be overly surprised if you have to fight for it. I'm partially sighted with a few complex conditions plus other health issues. I failed for the most ridiculous of reasons. When you register, you get given a bundle of papers which states you're registered. I've got no idea where mine is. (it's 9 years old and my vision has changed a lot since then) Because I couldn't produce it, I'm supposedly not registered. My GP says I am... (I've moved 3 times since then and wouldn't have a clue where it is)
RNIB have some advice on their website.0 -

Have you gone through the criteria to see where you score points? It's how you are half the time. But as I found, they based it on how I was on the day.0
