This PIP Helper is supplied by Turn2us, a national charity that helps people in financial hardship to gain access to welfare benefits, charitable grants and support services. It has been developed to help guide you through the process of applying for Personal Independence Payments (PIP) – a benefit that could help those age 16-66 with some of the extra costs caused by pulmonary hypertension. You can use the tool below to find out if you’re eligible for PIP, how much you could receive, and how to claim it.
The amount you get depends on how your condition affects you, not the condition itself. Your income and national insurance history and your household’s circumstances don’t count in deciding entitlement, only your care and mobility needs. Decisions on entitlement often involve medical assessments. Disabled adults living in Scotland should claim Adult Disability Payment. For more information on PIP click here.
