Getting PIP

Hi. Having recently having a cancerous stage 4 bladder removal + full hystrectomy which i know have a stoma for i was told i should apply for pip as i would be out of work for 6-9 months. I have done this and had my accessor at home due to my health. I suffer really bad know with anxiety and wont leave the house 😞I have to have help with eating,bathing and just getting through the day. Iv allways been a hard working,happy and confident person but this operation and the sepsis and kidney infection i got after i was discharged has took a toll on me mentaly,physicaly,emotionaly and financely broke me and im know worried i wont qualify. Any advice would be much appreciated. 🙂

In terms of PIP, like @wilko has said, it is not about diagnosis but how you are affected. About a week after the assessment you can ring up and request for a copy of the report to be sent to you. This will help you see what has been written and allow you to gauge what kind of award you may be expecting.
How have your work been in terms of supporting you during this time off?
Hope to see you around and thanks for joining us
