Hello I am in process of applying for PIP. After recent illness I am left with various physical disabilities on top of preexisting mental health issues. Because of physical issues I am having quite a lot of input from social services physio and phycological help. If I am having help from these various sources (which I am not paying for) would DWP assume that I do not need money from PIP because help/support is already being funded?
Also because of my disabilities social services have supplied some aids/appliances. I have had to purchase some further aids and will have to purchase more in future. I am wondering if it would help me score points and indicate the range and severity of disabilities if I noted the aids supplied by social services and the aids I have purchased myself?
