Hi
Im about to go for my PIP face2face interview next week and im a bit cocerned about what to say. I have CMT as do others in my family-they have PIP and get a car through the mobilty scheme and now this would really benifit me.I wear supports on each leg and am in pain when i walk- back pain all the time.My leg goes numb if i stand for to long.And have many other symtoms .Has anybody with CMT(CARICO MARIE TOOTH) recentley made a successful claim? Any advice for me?

Cheers Paul

Welcome to the forum

In case you are not aware, your real name appears to be showing in the forum, if you want to change this then follow the instructions in the following FAQ

My full name is showing, how can I stop it?


PIP is not directly concerned with the underlying conditions, but rather looks at their effects, so we can't really comment on whether anyone with CMT has already gone through the process before, perhaps if any members have they will post.

As to the assessment, have a look at our PIP Claim guide, there is a section towards the back that covers the assessment and the questions you are likely to be asked. See
