  Hi @Mol
  
  I have had a search on community discussions around this and you might find this useful
  
  https://community.scope.org.uk/discussion/30183/is-it-possible-to-claim-pip-and-continue-to-work
  
  PIP is essentially for additional costs incurred as a direct result of having a disability so certainly may be worth looking into further
  
  @tinkerbell66
  
  
  
  How did you get on with this? Can you offer any advice to @Mol?
  
  Hope this helps
  
  Best wishes

  Mol -it is not the condition itself that gets you PIP - it's how the condition affects your ability to carry out certain essential daily tasks and to walk outdoors.
  
  Read the Disability Rights and CAB PIP information.
