Separating the facts from the fiction - don't get caught out 🧐
With the cost of living crisis continuing to hit pockets people with medical conditions are being urged to apply for PIP.
Myth: PIP will not be paid to people who are working Fact: PIP can be claimed by people who are in or out of full or part-time work. You also do not need to have paid National Insurance contributions to qualify. Myth: The eligibility criteria for PIP is the same as Disability Living Allowance Fact: PIP has different eligibility criteria and is not based on the health condition or disability someone has.
Myth: PIP is only for people with physical disabilities Fact: This is wrongly assumed by many people, but the most common reason for a claim is for support with a ‘hidden’ disability. Myth: PIP claims will not be considered for three months Fact: If you want to claim PIP for the first time there is a three month qualifying period and the needs arising from your condition or disability must be expected to last for a further nine months.
