Pip claim for Chrones disease

I have chrones disease and in pain daily. I need to use the toilet between 5-10 times a day, and it leaves me feeling drained and tired. Sometimes I am passing blood, and unable to put any weight on. I only have half a bowel as half was removed when I was born. I was told to apply for pip to help me, but got turned down. I used to work full time, but due to my condition I had to go on sick and lost my job. I find it hard to get out to do things with my family as I really struggle to get out when I have flair ups

Did you understand how PIP is assessed? See information herestephenblahuta said:... I was told to apply for pip to help me, but got turned down.

Did you challenge the decision to refuse PIP? If it was less than 13 month ago you are not out of time to do so.0
