    Hi @nazsingh and a very warm welcome to the community! You may find the PIP online self- help test useful. If you fill in this questionnaire it will tell you what points you could receive from an assessor and whether it is worth putting in a claim. The community is really supportive and many of the members have gone through the PIP processes. If you choose to make a claim then I am sure we would be able to help. Hope you have a lovely day and please do be in touch :)

    The first thing you should do is have a look at the descriptors 
    https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/Global/Migrated_Documents/adviceguide/pip-9-table-of-activities-descriptors-and-points.pdf

    Then decide which ones you would want to claim making sure that you have evidence to support why you fit them.
    Add up the scores for care and mobility

    You are looking to get a minimum of 8 points each for care or mobility.

    Evidence is crucial in proving why you should be given those points.

    Hello nazsingh and welcome, PIP is not about your illness or disabilities, it about your abilities to do day to day things in your life. Cook, wash and dress your self feed your self take medication ect and you mobility issues or problems you may have. Do a self test and see how you would fair matching the descriptors.
