in Benefits and income

Hi hope your all ok,

Im looking for some help and guidance with a few things please ,

Im currently getting lower rate PIP for both areas. I feel I need to reapply as im getting worst and no better with my mobility daily. I found the forms so hard to fill out !

I also get income related ESA since leaving work during to ill health.

Has anyone redone forms for PIP as they have got worse? Does your claim stop?

Also my child is newly diagnosed with Adhd and would like to claim for her. Would they effect my PIP and ESA?

Im not the best woth filling out forms, can you get support doing this?

Thank you for taking time to read

    Hi, not very experienced myself as it’s first time claiming PIP for myself, but I went to the citizens advice bureau for support in filling out my forms as there was no way I could have completed them by myself, my claim isn’t finished yet but CAB did say to go back for more support if the outcome was negative, hopefully someone can answer your query with more experience than me.

    Your ESA will be New Style ESA which is a Contributions Based benefit.

    Claiming DLA for your daughter won't impact on your ESA or PIP.

    Your existing PIP award carries on while you are being reassessed.
