Pip for post lung cancer

cadace · June 21

Does anyone know of a group that could help steer me with starting a pip claim? I've been struggling for a few years and my wife wants me to do something another it.

Kind Regards

Hi @cadace and welcome to the community. We have lots of information about making a PIP claim including links on where to get further support https://www.scope.org.uk/advice-and-support/personal-independence-payment-pip

A good starting point is to look at the descriptors https://www.benefitsandwork.co.uk/personal-independence-payment-pip/pip-points-system Going through these can help you complete the form and begin to think about how your condition affects your daily life.

Are you getting enough support at home?

Just quickly reading the criteria it says pip must be claimed before state pension age. I'm well past that.

Ah, not to worry @cadace, you can apply for Attendance Allowance instead https://www.scope.org.uk/advice-and-support/attendance-allowance .
