Should I apply for PIP?

ummeaadam · October 2018

Am getting ESA support group. Am on dialysis since last Dec n having frozen shoulders for almost a year now which limits me to do so many things like having a bath , can reach my sides , or back . Plus other issues . Should I apply for PIP ? The application form is so much to do . I can’t manage my paperwork as it is n this means more paper work .

Hi @ummeaadam welcome to the community!

Sorry to hear what you have been going through. Have a look at our PIP information which includes a self PIP test to find out if you would be eligible for the components. In regards to helping fill out your form, you can contact your CAB who can help you fill it out.

Please let us know if there’s anything else that we can help you with!

Hi @ummeaadam

Good Morning it’s great to meet you today.

We have got some info on “PIP” here on our site.

Are you able to get to a local “CAB” as they will be able to offer some help/support with your “Pip forms”

Hi @ummeaadam, and welcome!

As mentioned by Ami, I'd definitely recommend having a go at the PIP self-test to give you an idea of your entitlement. Do feel free to come back to us with any questions, and good luck!
