Yes, people do work and claim PIP. However, if the work you do contradicts the reasons why you're claiming PIP then it could go against you when you're next reviewed.You don't need to tell PIP you're working. Are you claiming any other benefits?0

Yes. PIP assessed on the difficulty you have carrying out the PiP activities. These have nothing to do with work (although a lack of ability to carry out some of the activities could limit work). Many people on PIP do work and there are no limits on the hours you can work and your earnings will have no impact on the PIP you receive.0

Welcome to the community @lorni99
Thank you for joining us!
As the others have explained, you can indeed work and claim PIP. Are you thinking of entering employment?0 -
Thanks for the comments they are very helpful, Yes I have been out of work for a long time because of a serious RTA but I feel that I need a little job for me just part time that I can cope with.0

Did you mean to post something after quoting poppy’s advice twice? I know the forum software can be quite clunky.0

Unless you are excluded by having savings of more than £16,000 you could be claiming Universal Credit. If you live with a partner you would both have to claim and if they have earnings, pensions or other income that would be taken into account as your entitlement would be based on your joint finances.lorni99 said:..

Be aware that if you have only been claiming PIP you have not been receiving NI credits and therefore have not been building up any entitlement to State Pension. UC gives you Class 3 NI credits towards your future pension.
If you declare your health condition you will be referred for a Work Capability Assessment and the outcome of this can increase your entitlement.
You can work while claiming UC.
https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/benefits/universal-credit/If you are excluded from UC due to savings or family circumstances you could apply for new style ESA. You would not be paid anything but would be referred for a Work Capability Assessment and if found to have Limited Capability for Work you would at least get Class 1 NI credits towards your future pension entitlement.0 -
Yessss! I was awarded pip in Nov and I work full-time 37 hours a week!lorni99 said:Can I work and still get my pip, thanks
I work with children and families and have to travel alot in my job, but because I use things like the disabled toilet, have ergonomic equipment for the office, get support regularly, my type of job doesn't affect getting pip
I think if you work in a job that contradicts how youre conditions affect you then youre unlikely to be awarded pip.0 -
Hi. I have been awarded standard daily living allowance with 9 points. I disagree with that. In their report (done by DWP) they stated as I’m working full time as finance administrator I’m ok. Well. They missed some key points that I’m working from home and several breaks. Not constant. I said that during my assessment. As I just received my assessment I’m surprised coz assessor said this clear. And she awarded me 12 points in total. She awarded me more points on managing therapy and also - she gave me 2 - dwp change it to 1 which is not true at all and also on engaging with people face to face assessor awarded me 4 points. Dwp - 0. Can anyone explain me how they can change professional nurse decisions regarding points ? I mean she get whole picture on the assessment and also has a knowledge which dwp hasn’t. It’s not like she did not added this to the report. Every single word she wrote there is true. I’m gathering all information now and will submit MR. Do you think I have chance to change their decision as they clearly changed nurse decisions?

The assessor does not make the decision. Their report forms part of the evidence which has to be reviewed by the Decision Maker who actually makes the decision.bogsa said:..Can anyone explain me how they can change professional nurse decisions regarding points ?
You have a chance of changing the decision if you can explain the difficulties you have on the activities you dispute and if these result in at least 3 additional points to get you 12 points to get an enhanced rate. The fact taht DM came to a different decision from the recommendation in the report is not conclusive.bogsa said:It’s not like she did not added this to the report.
