I have fibromyalgia and lower back problems I've been unable to work since May 2017 and walk with crutches and have just applied for pip and revived a disabled badge but have no idea what other help I'm entitled to or haw to go about it.

Hi @cazz, welcome to the community!
Have you had a look at our benefits calculator? Let me know it helps0 -
Hi @cazz and a warm welcome to you. We have many members with fibromyalgia, their posts to be found often in the 'Dealing with chronic pain' and in the 'Talk about PIP/DLA' forums. Perhaps you'd like to have a look and see if you can connect with some fellow sufferers.
Warmest best wishes to you,
Richard

Pip goes on how your illness effects you day to day not what illness you have,I suffer with fibromyaliga too ,I do have crutches but only use them when needed.it is worth putting in for pip but it is a long stressful process. X0
