  • I can't give you a straight answer.  Pip isn't about your illnes  irs about how your daily life is effected. What dies your illnesses stop or prevents you from doing eg.. can you get dressed? Can you cook is your mobility effected can you walk more that 200m without having to stop or cause you pain.. this is what pip is about hun it's not about your diagnoses.. these are question you will have to answer on a pip form x 

  • Hi I can do all apart  from walking to far as I  lost of bad wind  and  most time I need the toilet  quick  and   can cook dress my self  so I don't  think I will be able  to get it then 

  • There is no harm in applying hun. You do have issues with walking also your new diagnosis could help. You could apply for uc also esa. You could speak to cab or a benifits advisor who will know what your intitled to. You should be able to claim something sweet.
