@snowleopardess@SkyNews I claimed pip for my dying 16 yr old daughter even under special rules it took evidence, form filling by me and her paediatrician stating less than 6 months left to live & still a phone call to me with personal questions. It’s no joke
@slinehan1 I knew it was real in his bb exit interview. He almost said that night he felt like when he dated jesy. But I don’t think he wanted to make that comparison for a number of reasons. He had tears in his eyes.

You shouldn’t want to support disabled people being given adequate financial support because you and/or someone you will also be disabled one day, you should just actually care about other people. I don’t know why that’s so difficult.
PIP is a benefit paid to help disabled people meet the additional costs of being disabled.
