Hi @Richeyboy. Welcome to the community
Perhaps have a look at this webpage where you can use a benefits check to work out if you are entitled to any benefits: https://www.scope.org.uk/support/disabled-people/benefits/check

Hi @Richeyboy
PIP is about how any impairment affects you day to day rather than the impairment itself. Do you feel you could work more hours or does your hearing loss stop you working more than 16 hours?0 -
i can work more hours but i im restricted in what jobs i can do like reception work n that and also working in loud places so its kinda frustrating that they dont class this as a disability its weird because without my baha im buggered i cant work at all.0

Perhaps it would help to speak to one of our employment advisors? @mwila_scope or @Donisha_scope can you help?
