PIP and other entitlement.

[ocd2000]

Hello,

 

I've recently been awarded PIP for a degenerative condition that has worsened & I'm finding it entitles me to more help with things like council tax, but is there anything else i can now apply for or that i could be able to get more support with now I'm on PIP?

Hi.

 

Have you tried the turn2us online benefit calculator? That should give you some extra information. They're a charity and the calculator is confidential and free.

Well it seems i am getting the benefits they say i should be re council tax & UC.

But nothing else?

 

Does your local council have a welfare rights person you can talk to? They can be very helpful.

That's a good point actually, i didn't even think of that. Thanks again.

It's worth a try.   The council welfare rights person was very helpful to my MiL.

I've been given the number for my council benefit advisor so I'll call them and see if i am able to get any further help. 

 

Thank you.
