Personal Independence Payment
I have psoriasis and wanted to know if pip claim is an option?
PIP is assessed based on the level of help you need with specific activities, not the condition itself. If you have psoriasis and experience difficulties with daily living tasks or mobility, you may be eligible for Personal Independence Payment (PIP) in the UK, which can help with extra living costs. PIP is a benefit for people with long-term physical or mental health conditions or disabilities that cause difficulties with daily living tasks or getting around. It's designed to help with extra costs that arise because of your condition, not to replace income. You can get PIP even if you're working, have savings, or are getting other benefits. As psoriasis, a chronic skin condition, and can cause significant difficulties with daily activities, such as managing treatments, dressing, bathing, or managing toilet needs, especially if it's severe. The assessment focuses on your ability to; Prepare and cook food. Eat and drink. Manage your treatments. Wash and bathe. Manage toilet needs or incontinence. Dress and undress. Communicate with other people. Read and understand written information. Mix with others. Make decisions about money. Plan a journey or follow a route. Move around. You can apply for PIP online through GOV.UK. It's recommended to gather evidence of your condition and the difficulties it causes, such as medical reports or letters from your doctor. Be prepared to provide details about how your condition affects your daily life. If you disagree with the PIP decision, you have the right to appeal. I hope this is helpful.
