Hi
I get chronic migraines 3-4 times a week along with the odd hemiplegic migraine. I'm medically retired but was turned down for PIP last year. Do you think I should reapply for it again?

PIP is a benefit to help you with your daily living activities. It is not awarded on a diagnosis or illness or the amount of prescription drugs you are taking, but how you cope manage your daily living activities and mobility issues in relation to the PIP descriptiors. So take a self test and see how you fare and read the descriptors and see how you fit in the scheme of the descriptiors.

Hi @Softpaws and a very warm welcome to the community.

Here is the list of descriptors that are used to assess someone. I hope this is helpful.
If you have any further questions then please do let us know!
