Hi @pat50, and welcome!
The best place to start in working out what you may be entitled to is the online benefits calculator. You may also be interested in this information about the PIP application process. Hope this helps!1 -

Hi pat and welcome
PIP is a benefit for people that have difficulties with everyday tasks, it is about functionality. PIP is a non means tested benefit and many people that claim PIP also mange to work full time.
It is important to understand the points system, descriptors and the criteria for an award. A good place to start is the B&W self test
