New claim

Hi all I asked a question earlier this week about applying for PIP before my husband comes out of hospital hopefully 8th March. I looked on line for the number and it says the person must be present while making a claim. So how do I start the process without brian being at home ?

As Mike picked up on your other thread he can only claim now if he has had the health impacts for three months already and expects to be impacted for 9 months going forward. I apologise for not stating that in my original post.
I recall that your original post said he went into hospital on 2nd December so if that was the result of a sudden event on that day it would not be appropriate to claim until 2nd March in which case waiting until he is discharged on the 8th, if all goes to plan, will not make much difference.
Whether or not PIPis appropriate in respect of the 9 month forward looking test will depend on what is expected in terms of recovery.
