Hi and welcome 

You may want to look in our PIP section for lots of advice about claiming it 

Have a look at the descriptors and see where you may score points 

If you want to apply you start the process by calling the PIP helpline 

Come back and ask if there is anything specific you want to know

Hi @Howard and welcome to our online community.

Have you thought about @janer1967 's advice?  and do you need any more support to get started with a PIP claim?

I hope you are keeping well.

Hi @Howard - & welcome to the community. Here's a list of the activities/descriptors mentioned above: https://www.cambridgeshire.gov.uk/asset-library/Scores-for-PIP-Descriptors-2020.pdf

You will see this shows the scores that may be gained for activities of daily living &/mobility. You need 8 or more points to get an award of the standard rate for each component (daily living & mobility), & 12 or more points to get the enhanced rate for either component.

Perhaps this will help you decide if you may be able to get PIP. If you decide to start a claim for PIP, you need to ring 0800 917 2222. There's also some info about PIP here: https://www.gov.uk/pip

If you have any questions, as mentioned above, please do say. Hope this helps.
