Hi @jblackmore

The community has a benefits advisor that you could talk to
Also, if you have a look on our 'Support and Information' section and scroll down the page, there is 'Check your benefits' this section gives information on not just PiP but other benefits too! Also, it has a benefits calculator to work out what you could be entitle to.

Hope this helps!

Please let us know if there is anything else we can help you with

Hi, @jblackmore, and welcome to the community.
Ami and I are not experts on benefits, but there are experts working here and I have no doubt they will be in touch with you soon to find out more. The benefits calculator Ami referred to is here: http://https//www.scope.org.uk/support/disabled-people/benefits/check?_ga=2.119995149.405444417.1517054923-1832321402.1513208436
And anything you can tell us about your present circumstances would be of help.
Warmest best wishes,
Richard

Hi jblackmore and welcome

PIP is a non means tested benefit and can be paid whether you work full time or not

In the first instance , have  a look at the B&W self test

The PIP self test is well worth a try

Hi jblackmore

When you did the test where did you score the points ie how many DL, how many Mobility ?

Oh I'm sorry didn't know there was two parts I think I'll have to ask my daughter to do it for me I'm not very good understanding forms 

CockneyRebel

no problem
You need to score at lest 8 points for either section
The first 10 desciptors are for daily living .standard rate = 8 points
The last 2 descriptors relate to Mobility  standard rate     = 8 points

I hope that helps

Hi I received my assessors report today for PIP it's seems they have only awarded me 8 points does anyone know if this means I'm entitled to the standard rate and can the dwp decision maker go against the report?

Hi,

your question was answered on your other thread. https://community.scope.org.uk/discussion/63905/pip-assessment#latest

Please try to keep to one thread. Asking the same question on multiple threads gets confusing.
