Applying for CHC / PIP Entitlement was created by Roger
Would anybody know if somebody with advanced alzheimers, of pensionable age, who receives an attendance allowance, & who has scored sufficient points to progress to round 2 of a CHC funding application is entitled to PIP?

Also, is the person who cares for him 100% entitled to claim PIP or any similar benefit?

Thank you.

I'm afraid PIP and AA are overlapping benefits, plus the person must be over 65 and are therefore too old to claim PIP.

Get them to put their information into one of the online benefit calculators to see if there any other benefits they might receive such as Pension Credit.
