Permalinkhi jason, not quite expert
hi jason, not quite expert but i know a bit that mite help you, yes you can claim pip and esa, you need to fone dwp dep work pensions, ask for esa and pip forms, you will need medical evedence, docs or nuros letters explaining what you have and how it affects you also to explain you will need a home visit, if you miss your health assesment due to having an attack your claim will be cancled, the main criteria for pip is dose it affect you more than 50% of the time? answer each qustion as if your having your worst day, i answered most of mine "not during an attack" then gave an explanation what an attack is and recovery time ect.. a headache diary is good idea to show this, the home assesment important tho, sadly most 1st claims get turned down but are won hands down on appeal, if you need more time filling the form in just ring them and explain no probs, any questions just ask d

PermalinkCorrection re PIP criteria.
Correction re PIP criteria. It is are you affected 'on over 50% of the days' of the year; not over 50% of the time. Makes a big difference.

PermalinkThanks for the help, even
Thanks for the help, even though I have a letter from neuro saying I have chronic cluster headaches I am going to get the Dr's to refer me back as the last neuro Dr said if I need letters or help see her again and she would write them.
Yes I get them everyday and they last on a bad day most of the day, and now are going into my sleep time as well, I think in he last month I've had maybe two days headache free although I could still feel it lingering
I lost my job over this condition and am now struggling financially so I will fight my corner with them
Thanks

PermalinkSome counties keep a database
Some counties keep a database of disabled residents. Handy to be on there.
Consider bus pass, blue badge. etc
Surrey has one, Hamshire does not.

PermalinkFrom wiltshire, I didn't know
From wiltshire, I didn't know CCH was classed as a disability, I wish I'd known that last year before I was forced from my job, 13 years to get up the ladder and fall all the way down in a couple .
