IHD - Ischaemic heart disease and PIP

Hi all,

Has anyone claimed PIP with IHD and what luck?

On my medical print out from GP it states "IHD - Uschaemic heart disease - on angiogram" - back in 2013 but was not given any medication for it. probably because I am on high dosage of Warfarin last 20+ years already.

Hi TK,

Welcome to the forum, you might want to have a look at the following FAQ which explain where everything is

Welcome to Benefits and Work

PIP is awarded due to the care and/or mobility needs caused by your condition, rather than on the diagnosis.

This is explained in our PIP guide and there is also a self-assessment test that you can do. Score yourself harshly, as DWP will, and see if it appears a claim would be successful.

May I suggest that you bookmark/favourite this on your web browser so that you can find it easily in future? This will allow you to return with further questions or comments without having to start a enw topic each time. We ask members to keep everything relating to the same claim in one topic as it helps us enormously - and I hope you will find it useful too

Thank you Mrs Hurtyback – I have downloaded your book had already joined - excellent guide!
