I am really worried about PIP. I put in a new claim as I have now discovered that I have degrading hips (previous claim turned down) on top of having Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia 2a. They say I cannot have an assessment for 6 to 8 months due to lockdown but tell me I will receive NO financial support in the meantime. What do I do?

New claimants receive nothing until lockdown is over and that is a real problem for me.
