Hi,
Welcome to Benefits and Work
If your forum name is also your real name, you may wish to change it to maintain some anonymity.
This can be done quite easily by following the instructions on this FAQ :
My full name is showing, how can I stop it?
Except for a few exceptions, mainly with terminal illness, it is not the medical condition in itself that may or may not result in you obtaining a DLA award. (Similar with PIP & ESA)
It is the resulting walking limitations and/or care needs that you suffer as a result of the medical condition/s.
Therefore, it is possible that two claimants suffering with the same medical conditions may suffer different limitations, and may therefore gain different awards.
Unless you are in Northern Ireland (NI) new claims for DLA are no longer allowed.
You would therefore have to make a claim for PIP :
PIP Claims Guide. (2nd Link on page)
PIP Self Test
PIP Topic Thread in Spotlight Area
If you are in NI, or for DLA Renewals in mainland UK, see :
DLA Guides
DLA FAQ’s
&
DWP Decision Makers Guide to DLA & AA
Other members who also suffer pancreatic disease are most welcome to respond to share their own experiences.
If you have any further queries, please reply to this topic.
