hi Louisa ...
If you are eligible then apply now or before 8th April this year , for the eligibility criteria see the links on my post
here... remembering that you have to have had the needs for 3 months and expect to have them for at least a further 6 months
There is no doubt that the line to qualify for help has been moved to a higher threshold for the Personal Independance Payment .
Key is medical evidence to support your caim and it is an idea to keep a diary of issues of care and mobility needs that you face .
Best way to claim in this instance is to use the Telephone Claim line 0800 88 22 00 since if you apply now by telephone and you return the form within six weeks then the claim will be dated from the day you call the claim line.
If you use the pdf online form then it will not run from until you send the form back.
Hope this helps
Rich :)
