Hi Christine; I can't answer that for Australians...(I have only just asked our Centrelink the same question & awaiting a reply).....but I have heard that in England, a lot of the forum speakers talk about PIP....others willl tell you their experiences......if there is anyone in 'Australia who does, I, too would appreciate to hear................Bron
I have since 2001,hope it works out for you. Now since I have been diagnosed since 1995 currently I have other autoimmune diseases that also contribute to my pain and not being able to walk I was diagnosed with Ms that recently has changed to a new diagnosis of nmo and also transverse myelitis along with autonomic dysreflexia so besides getting disability from the government I also get in home health help and care my husband also get paid to take care of me which helps us financially due to him having to take off so much work take me to my Dr and stay with me and I'm really bad
Hi Christine. Where do you live, if you don't mind me asking. Following your question as I maybe in a similar situation. Fibro has just been mentioned in a recent consultation as a cause to my pain. Thank you.
Hi Christine94335 In england you can claim pip and esa your local cab office can help with form filling and advice on what benefits you can claim.
