Giving up Work due to health was created by Grannia
Looking for a wee bit of advice/knowledge. I have various ailments, and I work fulltime. I have various ailments, including reduced functioning kidneys and liver (due to medications I am on). I had my last blood test yesterday, received a call from ,y doctor to repeat blood tests as liver results are not great enzymes have made a massive increase. My question to everyone is
If I have to reduce my working hours (or worst case scenario have to give it up all together) Would this be covered if I applied for PIP and would I get the higher rate. I am exhausted and out of breath within minutes. Thank you

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 not awarded for a condition but rather the limitations that result in regard to a number of daily activities, so It's impossible to say whether you would qualify for PIP and at what level.
Have a look at our PIP Claim guide for a better understanding of the criteria that you will need to meet.

If you are unable to work due to your conditions then you may be able to claim ESA, again it has specific criteria that you will need to meet.
