in Start here and say hello!

I hope you are all doing good. I am 61 years old. I have osteoarthritis in most of my weight bearing joints and also in my hands. In chronic pain and feel fatigue. On recent visit to docs I burst out crying when asked how I was feeling. I want to apply for PIP but don’t know where to go for help to fill the form as my hands hurt when I write. Not on any benefits at the moment.

    You can find help using this link:

    They can either write on the paper form for you, or type in an online application if DWP offer that for your area.
