    Hi and welcome to the community 

    People work and still claim pip 

    Pip is awarded based in your functional ability to carry out the 12 descriptors 

    There is lots of useful information on here in the pip section you may find useful 

    If you think you qualify then it is worth applying if you get turned down you can appeal . You have nothing to lose by trying
