    Hi @Val121, and welcome!

    This must have been so frustrating for you. Have you heard anything from them since? Hopefully our benefits advisors will be in touch soon and able to help you further with this.

    Hi Val and welcome

    Normally a PIP claime is statred via a telephone conversation ( PIP 1 )
    Have you made the call and given the required details ?

    If not then

    it is important to understan the points system, descriptors and the criteria for an award and a good place to start is the self test on the B&W site
