Hello everyone! Hope somebody can help I’m suffering from Chronic pain with both lower back and neck pain. Told by GP it’s degenerative and no surgical intervention is anticipated, great! Am going to get a Home assessment for PIP wondered if anyone has experienced this and have any pointers.

I would say that the best way is to understand the point system and how they access the award. So if you had difficulties in cooking, you need to explain the difficulties, the Pain you are in, how lon does it last, can you lift pots and pans and so on
