This is from the latest Benefits and Work mail shot. Might be useful for some peeps regards pre payment meters and vulnerability.
'PIP – which helps people deal with the extra living costs caused by long-term disability or ill health – is the benefit with the highest underpayment rate'

The proportion of increase is less than or equal to any other age group. In short, it's showing that ill health and disability is affecting everyone across the board. It's not laziness, or fraud, it's an even spread and you have to seriously look at Covid.
Naomi Harvey PhD #WearAMask Benefits and Work Exactly! WOW this is the first time I've seen anyone else say this! Over 8yrs ago now I experienced exactly this! All they went on about was pacing & I kept asking, 'How do you pace nothing?' I attended 3 but then was discharged after being unable to attend thr next!
A thread on claiming/appealing Personal Independence Payment (PIP). Tl:dr?
1. Claim PIP. It can make a real difference to our lives w hard cash
2. Get advice. This is crucial. Eg I recommend Benefits and Work
3. If unsuccessful, appeal. Majority of appeals are successful (1/?)
Disability News Service Beth Winter MP Benefits and Work I can personally attest to the horrific wait times I’ve had to endure in order to reach someone from the DWP. It’s ridiculous.
Benefits and Work So of no help for ME/CFS patients because most can't get a diagnosis. That goes for most chronic diseases where their doctor refuses to acknowledge they are ill. This is going to end badly with a lot of denied applications.
