How the PIP Helper supports you

The Turn2us PIP Helper was designed with input from people who have gone through the process themselves. It can help you by:

  • Letting you know if you’re eligible for PIP.

  • Showing you what rate of PIP you might be entitled to.

  • Offering personalised guidance on completing your application.

  • Giving tips to look after your wellbeing during the process.

Why it matters for your health

Living with a long-term condition or disability often means facing extra costs from travel and mobility to daily care and managing your home. Financial support through PIP can ease this pressure, helping you stay independent and giving you more headspace to focus on your health.

By reducing the stress of applying, the PIP Helper can make the process feel less overwhelming, leaving you with more energy for what matters most.

What evidence is needed for PIP?

Evidence showing how your condition affects your daily life can include medical records, letters from healthcare professionals, and statements from carers or family. Real-life examples like difficulties with washing, walking, or cooking can help your needs being understood more clearly.

How to appeal a PIP decision?

If you disagree with a PIP decision, you can first ask for a mandatory reconsideration within one month of the decision. If you still don’t agree after that, you can appeal to an independent tribunal. Make sure to include any new evidence or examples that show how your condition affects you.

What is the difference between PIP and DLA

Personal Independence Payment (PIP) replaced Disability Living Allowance (DLA) for most adults aged 16 to State Pension age. While both provide support for people with disabilities or long-term health conditions, PIP focuses more on how your condition affects your daily life and mobility, rather than the condition itself.

What illnesses automatically qualify for PIP?

There’s no set list of illnesses that automatically qualify for PIP. Instead, eligibility depends on how your condition affects your ability to carry out daily tasks and move around, not the diagnosis itself.

Can I claim PIP for conditions like high blood pressure or IBS?

There is no specific list of illnesses that automatically qualify for Personal Independence Payment (PIP). Eligibility for PIP depends on how your health condition or disability affects your daily life and your ability to carry out everyday tasks, as well as your mobility, rather than the condition itself, whether that's high blood pressure, IBS, or any other long-term issue.
