Pip claim form

There is a residency test for PIP, paying National Insurance in the UK may be a quick way of determining whether a claimant passes the test, but conversely I don't think that not paying NI in the UK means that the claimant was not resident, but the PIP Regulations do not give a definitive definition of what "resident" means so there may be other legislation involved.

Not having a diagnosis will definitely make it more difficult but not impossible, you will just have to explain your limitations in more detail, so you mention problems with balance, how does this affect you? When does this affect? What results from the problem, do you fall? Are there other symptoms and if there are, how do they manifest themselves?

Make sure you understand the criteria that you are being assessed against, see our PIP Claim guide

www.benefitsandwork.co.uk/help-for-claimants/pip

You must be able to perform each activity "reliably" and on the "majority of days", these terms are explained in the guide.

If you have further questions then please reply to this post and we will do our best to help.

I'm afraid this is outside the area that we advise on. Have a look at the following
