A letter from your GP, along with copies of your medical history, is crucial for a successful PIP claim. These documents provide solid evidence of your condition, detailing your symptoms, treatments, and how the disability affects your daily life. By presenting medical records, you offer a comprehensive view of your needs, ensuring the decision-making process is based on factual and reliable information. This approach increases the accuracy of your claim and helps prevent any potential discrepancies or delays.

The PIP assessment system, designed to support people with additional care or mobility needs, often falls short in recognising the daily impact of pain, leaving many to feel dismissed, doubted, or denied.
Living with chronic pain is an invisible battle that millions face daily. For those undergoing Personal Independence Payment (PIP) assessments in the UK, proving the extent and frequency of pain becomes yet another source of suffering. In today’s tech-driven society, there is an urgent need to develop wearable pain recognition tools, especially via mainstream devices like the Apple Watch.
Raynaud’s disease (also known as Raynaud’s phenomenon or syndrome) is a circulatory condition that affects blood flow to certain parts of the body, usually the fingers and toes. When exposed to cold temperatures or stress, the small blood vessels in the extremities constrict excessively, leading to pain, numbness, tingling, colour changes, and functional limitations.
If governments are drowning in debt and slashing public services, why not just “press reset” and start again? When budget cuts and tax hikes hit the most vulnerable, many wonder why central banks can’t simply wipe the slate clean. Here’s why the real issue isn’t ability, it’s political will.
