Working and PIP

I work full time but have several disabilities which make it difficult for me. Can I claim PIP while working full-time? I can't find te answer to this question anywhere, I can only find info relating to starting work when already receiving benefits.

Thanks for your help

Your working does not prevent you from making a claim for PIP but your doing so will be considered as part of the assessment process and may restrict your ability to score the points needed for an award. You will need to explain how you are able to work and in particular full time and still have problems with the daily activities that PIP looks at.

I would recommend your having a look through our PIP claim guide for the evaluation criteria to see whether how much you might score.
