Hi anyone have any advice on pip, I didnt get it last time I claimed, but think I might be entitled. The assessment, I have to say was not very intuned towards people rather just proceedures to follow.

Hi @don73 and a warm welcome to the community. Many of our members will be able to advice on this so I hope you get the answers that you are looking for. It may be worth taking the PIP online test to see what points you qualify for. Please bare in mind that the assessor may give you a different score, so this is just an indication. If there is anything else that I can do then please do not hesitate to be in touch!

Hi,You say you were refused last time? Did you ask for a Mandatory Reconsideration and then Tribunal if that failed?PIP isn't about a diagnosis, it's how your conditions affect you daily. You need to look at the PIP descriptors to see where you can score those points. Evidence will be needed to support your claim because they rarely contact anyone for this. The onus is on you to make sure it's sent.Complete the online PIP self test, it's only a guide but will give you some idea what you could score. http://www.mybenefitsandwork.co.uk/pip/indexxx.php
