Where can you go to get help filling out the PIP paperwork they send you, got really messed around last time.At the moment I am on esa and get a phone call from a lady in the job centre every six months to ask how I'm doing and she advised me as my partner is taking care of me etc I should be claiming PIP and carers allowance?, But the forms are very contradictory like they are purposely trying to confuse you, so I just need some help when new forms come in the post, they have all the other info like the forge center, doctors and new pathways etc so only the forms holding me back, sorry if above didn't make much sense, thanks..

Hi @Phoenix111221, I would suggest getting in contact with your local Citizen's Advice Bureau so they can advise you on which benefits you maybe entitled to and also go through the forms with you: https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/

Hi @Phoenix111221.
A very big welcome to you I do hope that we can help you with this ???
We have got plenty of info on our home page & also a "Benefit Advisor"
This might be the best place to start with.
Do you have a local "CAB" office near you who should be able to help you ???
Please please let us know if we can help you further with this ??? -
Hi @Phoenix111221,
As @ourvoices mentions above, Citizens Advice can help you with your benefits and paperwork. They also have a useful question-by-question guide to the PIP form which you might find useful.
I hope this helps. If you have any other questions, then please do get in touch!Liam -
@Phoenix111221 If you can't find anyone to help you: Have a look at the PIP points system (search online using these three words). Choose which descriptors fit you best and base your answers on describing each of these including why you, personally need help.
