PIP- what else is available?

Destiny · July 2018

I am new to this site. Would just like to know what is available to people on PIP. I have recently been awarded adv mobility and std care.

That would totally depend on circumstances and what, if any means tested benefits you claim.

Automatically being entitled to a blue badge will depend on where the claimant scored the points in the mobility part. If it was 8 points or more in the moving around part of PIP then this will entitle them automatically. Following and planning a journey doesn't ....yet. Local councils haven't yet changed this part.

I have a car on motobility and blue badges. But is there grants for stair lifts etc. Or mobility scooters.

Hi @Destiny, you may like to try this grants search to see if there's anything you may be eligible for.

For mobility scooters try looking on gumtree in your area, or even on local facebook groups. You'll be amazed at the amount of people selling them and they are always that expensive.
