Hi @Cinders43
Welcome to the community, do you want to tell us a bit more about yourself?
How did you get on with filling in PIP forms? Have you had your assessment yet?Scope

Hi Sam. Thank you for the welcome. I have looked through the PIP form but haven't tackled it yet. It's very daunting, never claimed anything in my life and feel a bit guilty for starting now. Being made redundant has made me realise that I was very tired and working full time has taken it's toll on me and now I have slowed down so much and find it very frustrating, not being able to do what I used to. Sorry i've rambled on a bit

This guide to filling in PIP forms by the CAB is brilliant and breaks it down step by step.
You could also try the online self PIP test to get an idea of how you could score, and you might like to look at the benefits calculator to see if there is anything else you could be entitled to.Scope
