Would you apply for PIP in these circumstances

[Icedlatteplease]

I was attacked 3 years ago that has had long lasting impact on my physical wellbeing and mental health. I cant work full time although I do work on average about 10- 16 hours a week depending on how im doing . The work however is insecure sometimes there is non and sometimes I can't do it, but the above takes that into account over the course of a year

I have significant responsibilities towards my son who has serious mental health and physical needs (although he does have care now as well)

I am signed off to work reduced hours by the GP. Ive just completed the capacity to work forms and its the first time ive really looked at the impact as a whole, i was a bit shocked as I generally muddle through. If i claim PIP I'd be very surprised if I got more than 4 in any category which puts me squarely in the category to be abolished.

Would you bother putting in a claim?

Anyone?

Yes of course. It's a 2 year award I think.

Yes. It's money that could pay for therapy and for taxis if getting around can be problematic. The worst that can happen is they say no.

You can apply and see what happens

I don't understand the procedure but yes I would apply as you might get something. Good luck OP

Thank you. My friend raised it a while back, it wasn't until I put everything down i wondered if she might be right. It's been a bit of a shock, not sure why, she's right about most things

Are you able to cook ,clean ,care for yourself ,
Travel independently from.A to B if you can you are unlikely to.be awarded if you can't or need assistance than gather evidence to.back up.your claim and apply.
