I had a work assessment appointment 6wks ago & this morning got my reply that I’ve “limited capability for work” so I’ve looked everywhere to see if this out come makes me eligible for pip? Just I also have my pip medical in 3 days

    Hi @Kimbo3d
    Welcome to the community, I am sorry to hear you have been having such a tough time.  There is a PIP self test here that might help you to see if you could be eligible for PIP.

    There is also information here on the CAB website about preparing for your PIP assessment.

    Good luck and let us know if you need any more information and how you get on.

    Hi,

    UC LCW will have no impact on your PIP claim because they're both completely different benefits. Good luck with your PIP claim and hopefully it won't be too long after the assessment that you'll have a decision on this claim too.
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.
