Proving Pain for PIP Eligibility

For millions of people in the UK living with chronic pain, applying for Personal Independence Payment (PIP) can feel like a battle against an invisible enemy.

Foreign Nationals and Eligibility to UK State Benefits

Foreign nationals (Legal) are a vital part of British society; they work in our hospitals, build our infrastructure, teach in our schools, and contribute to the economy.
