Claiming pip (UK) for T1D, complications, Anxiety & Depression

I’ve also been wondering this! I have T1D also have retinopathy but kind of seems impossible to get PIP?!

To be honest, i didn't know we could 🤷‍♀️

Do it it takes a long time so worth trying

Definitely try giving it a go! You won’t lose anything by trying so 🤷🏼‍♀️it just sounds like such a long process and it’s really putting me off 🫣

It’s not that hard it just takes a long time for them to send you to an assessor and then the referral to be reviewed etc etc it’s easy enough in some areas once you call can do it all online x

My mum has it although was refused initially however she also has neuropathy. You need to write about how it effects you on a daily basis as it’s based on need and provide all the evidence you have.

I tried and got 0 points in the assessment, so entittled to nothing but some people do get it so try! Its a very slow process but worth it if you get somthing
