I have been awarded pip. At long last.it has been a real struggle as I've had to leave a good paid job due to my illness. Abdomino phrenic dyssynergia. My husband Mark has had to support me in every way. My monthly medication my petrol my clothes every thing. I've been awarded high rate mobility & standard rate living. I'm not sure what other benefits I can get as my husband works. Any help would be appreciated ty x

Hi,That's great news! Whether you're entitled to any other benefits will depend on circumstances and for this you'll need a full benefits check from an advice agency near you.For your PIP award Enhanced mobility will entitle you to use this for a car in exchange for the weekly rate. Free road tax. Possibly a blue badge, depending on which mobility part you scored points in.0

Ty poppie123456. I already have a car which I struggle to get in & out of but I only use it once a week. I just wanted to know if I will be entitled to free prescriptions as it's costing loads @ £9 per item x0

You may also want to take a look at the NHS low Income scheme here. https://www.nhsbsa.nhs.uk/nhs-low-income-schemeIt will depend on your household income and a form will need to be filled in before claiming free prescriptions etc.
