mk76

@mk76 are you telling me off ,have not been told off from a man in few years now lol , but iv got to say you have made my day , now if you was to read above what @deano5278  said was he did not have a clue about benefits or any thing he was told to apply for pip x  

mk76

Sorry captain IL scrub decks

topshoes

is it chief officer after captain if so think  @Ami2301 should be, if she wants   another woman on the boat would heip  lol

Ami2301

Here are a few options that you can check out

• Have a look at the information regarding PIP and other benefits you may be entitled to here
• Check out this handy benefit calculator which allows you to find out if you are entitled to any other financial support.
• Head to our PIP discussion boards, click on this link and it will take you straight there. Once on the page, on the right hand side there will be 'New Discussion' in blue/purple. Click on that, write your post and then click 'Post discussion'.

Hope this helps!
