    PIP assessment: Two stories of applying for disability benefit - BBC News

    He is not disabled, for fooks sake he's had a transplant so in a far better position than me. My eGFR is 9%, yet tomorrow I'm up at 5am driving 80 miles to a remote client site, carrying out a full days on site testing and driving back to get back home at aprox 8pm. Last year I was dialysing at client site. If he's on benefits he doesn't have to pay for meds. If he's working then £100 for a year gives him unlimited meds. Also I wish my meds cabinet was that fooking small. Fooking tosser.

          We went through the process for my wife recently and it was pretty straight forward. The scoring is pretty clear so filling in the forms yourself you pretty much know whether you will get it or not before you even send the forms back. There are obviously going to be some grey arrears for some, where a score could go one way or the other, but so long as the claimant is honest and clear on the forms, like I say, it should be fairly self evident.

          My wife gets full PIP for mobility and care, but then she's in a wheelchair, can't walk, and needs 24/7 care. Ironically she didn't get full DLA previously, so she was 'upgraded' from her original DLA assessment! No Backdated payments though

                  My wife has done this for both our disabled children - says it is a PITA. Very long form, took ages. In fact she wondered how the average thicko manages this.

                  Maybe that is why assguru does not get DLA for his cretinism.....
