Is PIP the same as disability?

TrudiBaker12

Hi all. My problem pales into comparison to most disabilities but is on going and causes multiple problems, it's fibromyalgia, we get written off from the medical profession and basically have to deal with it. I have been awarded PIP and have blue badges now, can somebody tell me as I get this am I entitled to get disability or is this the same thing. Regards Trudi Baker

Hi @TrudiBaker12
Welcome to the community, I think by disability they may mean Disability Living Allowance and that has now been replaced by PIP.

There is a benefits calculator here you can fill in to see if you are claiming everything you are entitled to.
