Anybody living in the UK that requires financial help because they suffer from a long-term health condition can do so through a Personal Independence Payment (PIP).
The disability allowance is given out by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP), and almost three million UK citizens qualify for it, reports Lancs Live. Now, experts have revealed the details behind how certain skin and eye conditions could make someone eligible for PIP.
The director of Benefit Answers, Paul Brennan, explained who is able to claim the disability payment. Mr Brennan said: “You don’t need a serious physical disability to claim PIP - there are currently 2,217 people across the UK claiming support for sleep apnea and conditions of the upper respiratory tract.
