Hello, my name is Ewa☺️
I have been diagnosed with MBC in 2022. Few months after o have been awarded max PIP.  Im not working atm but being a single mum of two teens is very expensive 😔 
Im considering to apply for taxi driver licence. My question is: Can i work as uber driver as a part time job and still be able to claim PIP?

    Thank you woodbine☺️
    Main reasons are the side effects due to cancer treatment. Some days are better than others. Being able to work in mine own pace and time is key.

    Hi @Ewa, welcome to the community. As Woodbine mentioned, as long as your work doesn't contradict the reasons for you claiming PIP you should be okay taking on some work here and there.

     I hope you're managing okay with your treatment and are able to enjoy some good days :)

    my friend works 30 hours as a bus driver and he has just had his pip increased from standard to high rate mobility for 3 years.
    His care element remained the same at standard.
