Hi I'm looking at going back to work part-time just doing a little school run in the morning and afternoons will this affect my Pip and my use of my mobility car

    Hi @1964paul and a very warm welcome to the community! You are able to work whilst claiming PIP. It's important to note that it shouldn't go against the descriptors that you have scored on as this could go against you in the next assessment. 

    I hope this makes sense and your job is going well. :)

    @1964paul - PIP isn't about whether you work or not so there's no need to tell anyone if you start work.

    The mobility car is for your own use - not for work (sorry if this wasn't what you meant)

    Good luck...

    Although PIP isn't about whether you work or not, if the work you do contradicts the reasons you're claiming PIP then it could go against you the next time you're re-assessed.
