PIP 3 month rule

Hi all

My good friend has been diagnosed with stage 4 non Hodgkin’s lymphoma that has spread to her bone marrow. She’s always worked in minimum wage jobs, lives alone and has never been sick. On her diagnosis, my initial horror was replaced by shock when I learnt that she was expected to cover all her bills on £89.35 a week. Knowing this wasn’t possible, I formed an army and led a fundraising campaign to cover her basic household bills. It’s been an on going battle, but we’ve had some success. The wolf isn’t quite at the door - yet.

Thanks for listening!

I don't know if this is Too late or not. I use to work for the Benefits Agency in an office for DLA. When your friend was give that bad news of Cancer. Someone should have mentioned a form DS1500. When you had the PIP forms you should have been advised to Tick the Special Rules box. (This is one the first inside page) it tells you to go to the end page. With the form DS1500 completed by a Doctor. It more or less give the Decision with in 10 working Days.

I hope your friend is doing well.
