Are there any benefits I can claim?

Willowtree

Hello to everyone in the community, I suffer with fibromyalgia, IBS and asthma.  I work full time but sometimes i find it a struggle getting up in a morning and sometimes I just need someone to talk to even if it is online.  I would also like to know if there are any benefits I could claim such as a mobility badge.   Everyone enjoy the rest of their easter.

Hello @Willowtree Pleased to meet you welcome.

Sorry to hear you are struggling.  Thank you for joining and sharing.

You come to the right place for information, support and friendship.

I am one of the team of community champions. We guide, advise and help new members who join the forum.

Please have a look at our website lots of information on benefits.

The criteria you need to claim.

Also you could use this link.  https://www.gov.uk./browse/benefits.

I would suggest speak to CAB for additional advice and guidance to see what your entitled to. Do a benefits review.

Please ask if we can help and advise with anything.  Some one will know from our team or a member of our community.

Be happy to chat or talk anytime. Be supportive.

Please take care.

Hi @Willowtree and welcome

If you are having problems with daily living activities or mobility then the benefit to apply for would be PIP

Take the self test to see if you might be eligable

You can also apply to your local council if your mobility is restricted and you need a Blue Badge but don't meet the criteria for PIP
