Osteoarthritis

Mol

Has anyone applied for PIP because of their arthritis condition?

Hi @Mol

I have had a search on community discussions around this and you might find this useful

PIP is essentially for additional costs incurred as a direct result of having a disability so certainly may be worth looking into further

@tinkerbell66



How did you get on with this? Can you offer any advice to @Mol?

Hope this helps

Hi mol.  I suffer with osteoarthritis and I applied for pip, got refused twice but third time lucky......Got it,. I get the daily living and mobility components,I had an assessment done at home. Hope this helps you.

Mol -it is not the condition itself that gets you PIP - it's how the condition affects your ability to carry out certain essential daily tasks and to walk outdoors.

Read the Disability Rights and CAB PIP information.
