Hi all.
I have just joined  and I'm looking for advice. 
Imy currently  on long term sick leave  due to my Osteoarthritis  becoming  debilitating  , constantly  painful and now restricted  my mobility. 
 I would  like to  ask. .how do I register  as being  disabled  ?
And if anyone has any advice on filling in a PIP application  form for Osteoarthritis. .would be much appreciated. Thank you x

Hi @Debster1

There is no longer a ‘register’ of disabled people so you don’t need to register.

There is a useful section about becoming disabled later in life, which should help you. Have a read and come back and ask us questions!

Best wishes, Alex

Hello Debster and welcome

It is important to understand the points system, descriptors and criteria for an award. A good place to stert is the B&W self test
