Eating Disorders and PIP Eligibility

Eating disorders are complex, debilitating, and can severely affect both mental and physical health. Although often invisible to others, the internal struggles faced by sufferers are very real and valid. Whether you’re managing an eating disorder yourself or supporting a loved one, it’s important to know that support exists, and that financial help through PIP or Universal Credit may be available. Raising awareness and reducing stigma can open the door to better treatment, social understanding, and a fairer benefits system that recognises the true challenges of living with an eating disorder.

How the PIP Assessment Criteria Exclude Hidden Disabilities

“One of the most overlooked aspects of disability assessments like PIP is the failure to fairly account for fluctuating conditions. Many individuals live with illnesses that vary from day to day — such as Multiple Sclerosis (MS), ME/CFS, fibromyalgia, or certain mental health conditions. These are not linear or predictable, and yet the current system often assumes a static level of ability. This creates a harmful narrative that if someone can perform a task once, they can always do it — which is simply not the case. A more compassionate and realistic approach would recognise how the severity of symptoms can fluctuate, affecting daily living and mobility in deeply inconsistent and exhausting ways.”

If drastic budget cuts continue to hit low-income families and the disabled, Labour will stand no chance of re-election. Regardless of party, the agenda remains the same—to save money at any cost.

DWP’s Green Paper Consultation: A Flawed and Misleading Exercise?

The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has recently come under fire for its “Pathways to Work: Reforming Benefits and Support to Get Britain Working” Green Paper, which proposes significant changes to Personal Independence Payment (PIP) and Universal Credit (UC).

Understanding Invisible Disabilities, Recognizing the Unseen Challenges

The government’s proposed benefit reforms are not just a bureaucratic shift—they are a direct attack on the dignity, autonomy, and survival of disabled people. By making it harder to claim PIP and coercing individuals into unsuitable work, these policies will lead to a national crisis, affecting not just the disabled community but the economy, healthcare system, and society as a whole. It is time for disabled individuals, advocacy groups, and legal professionals to unite and challenge these injustices before they become irreversible.
