HI
I've been advised to apply for PIP. Is this the same as DS1500?
Also, do you have to have a prognosis of 2 years or less before they'll consider you?
I've never asked for a prognosis yet. I know it's incurable and I'm having palliative chemo and radiotherapy.
Initially I felt guilty for even thinking about applying. But then I thought sod it, it's not as if they'll have to fork out and pay me a pension. Am below state pension age so they'll score on that front.
I also stupidly paid ££££s to make up my shortfall a year or so ago. I try not to think about it too much as it was rather a lot of money. More fool me, trying to be sensible about the future!
Any advice appreciated. X
