Start by checking the basic PIP rules on GOV.UK, then make a claim by phone or through the available online service; you’ll usually need your personal and bank details. Complete the ‘How your disability affects you’ form with specific examples of how your condition affects daily living and mobility, before returning it by the deadline. You may be invited to an assessment, after which the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) sends a written decision. If you disagree, you can ask for a mandatory reconsideration and may then appeal to an independent tribunal; Scotland uses Adult Disability Payment instead.
