A lot of experts on here, my son sets PIP because of his disability he?s autistic and has epilepsy and I wish to God he was ?normal? whatever the hell that means
Despite what was announced the other day we are not certain he will continue getting it certainly the living part is uncertain Kendall said the other day only the ?most severe and long term disabled? will be ok, well as long as he?s cured this time next week he?ll be off to work then!
Yes he is disabled but is he less disabled than someone with cancer or in a wheelchair? Probably not truth is those in power haven?t a bloody clue and neither have most of you lot, unless you live with it day to day and making almost daily phone calls and form filling.
The only MP who has half a clue is Ed Davey who has a disabled son
I am formally inviting anyone on here who wishes to take it up to come a spend a typical week (or day if you can?t stand the routine) and see if you have changed your opinion believe me I wish we didn?t have to go through all this I?ve not even mentioned the interrogations (tests) you have to go through to get it
SO SHUT YOUR GOBS AND JUST GET A BIT OF KNOWLEDGE FIRST
Some of the more disabled people have been turned down for PIP whereas people with anxiety or whatever have got it, that's one of the problems with it which I don't know if they're addressing.
I see divide and rule is working well. The age old "look at that!" routine.
Allowance
If your State Pension is more than Carer?s Allowance
This means you will not be eligible to be paid Carer?s Allowance. However, it is still worth applying as you may be able to get what?s called an ?underlying entitlement? to Carer?s Allowance. This is where it is agreed that you meet the criteria for Carer?s Allowance, and you will be sent a letter of ?underlying entitlement?.
This tells the benefit agencies that you are still a carer, and because of this it may mean certain benefits you?re already receiving increase (if they?re means-tested, ie based on your earnings, income or capital) or you may be eligible to receive certain benefits for the first time.
You may be able to claim a benefit called Pension Credit instead.
May I also suggest you phone age concern Rotherham, they are on the ball. Usually someone will come out to see you, and do all the form filling for you.
