    Hi vinny and welcome

    Take a look at the B&W PIP self test

    http://www.mybenefitsandwork.co.uk/pip/indexxx.php

    This will give you an idea whether you may qualify
    then come back with any questions

    Hi vinny

    PIP is for both MH and physical
    It might be a good idea to get help from CAB or similar

    CAB is Citizens Advice

    PIP is a benefit to help if you have difficulty with daily tasks or mobility
    ESA or UC are the benefits for people unable to work due to illness or disability

    Your GP may be able to support you but many are to busy

    I really do urge you to get face to face advice or ring the Scope help line on monday

    Hi @vinny, and welcome!

    As CR says, it may be a good idea to seek help from your local Citizens Advice: you can find your local branch on their website. There is also a self-test for PIP that you can take online to see if you may be eligible.
