Just a quick thank you to BW for the help I received in completing my PIP forms. The guidance in the guides helped me get PIP at the higher rates for 2 years, I'm convinced without the help I would have failed as I had no idea how to fill in the complex forms. I have Menieres disease which is difficult to explain to people, if there's anyone else with Menieres about to complete the PIP forms and need any help, please message me.

Again thanks BW for the help

Been waiting several months now for the assessment would the PIP award help with their decision? Thanks Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic.

Hi SJ,

Your PIP award will not make any direct difference to your ESA claim. However, you can certainly sue the report as supporting evidence for your ESA if there are areas of crossover. Send a copy to Maximus and explain how it applies to the ESA descriptors.
