Renal Tubular Acidosis (RTA) is a complex kidney disorder that disrupts the body’s acid-base balance, leading to a range of health issues. People with RTA often face significant daily challenges, and for those seeking financial support and assistance, such as through the Personal Independence Payment (PIP) in the UK, understanding how to demonstrate their need is crucial.

Recognizing the potential for hardship, debt, and eviction risks during this migration, the Government is implementing several measures to support claimants through this transition.
