Yes i get pip which i was surprised about i had a home visit as i was unable to travel to appointment i requested this. They can see you in pain and limitations you can get help filling in form, i looked up internet to get an idea of what they were looking for also keep any correspondence you receive from doctors, consultants whomever you may see explain how bad it is and how it affects your quality of life, limitations support you need. Hope this helps. X

Yeah I got a home visit too. My flat is adapted for my needs plus my carer was there too. The forms are easy and as @A MyFibroTeam Member look on the Internet for help and keep any appointments you have had/going to have to help you. Anymore questions or if you need some help just message me xx

Hi guys. I've been advised to claim PIP by my doctor and have never done anything like this before. And was concerned that because we are invisible I would be turned down x
