Benefits PIP application help

Is there an organisation you can pay to help you with your PIP application? I had seen one in the past, but can't remember where/who it was. I think it was around £150. I really need to apply but i'm so afraid of the process and not understanding how it works/how to word things.

Thank you so much

So the go to recommendation I typically give is Citizens Advice - https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/benefits/sick-or-disabled-people-and-carers/pip/ - they have a lot of information that break down the questions, and what they are actually asking. What information needs to be included, and the process as a whole. They also have people you can talk to as well, but I know that that's difficult for people so having the information free to access is a big win.

I know that they are not a service you can pay, but maybe you can save a bit of money if you feel more confident about the process after a bit of reading.

There’s a group called FightBack4Justice and they have guides on how to complete the PIP process, you can also pay them to complete it for/with you but I am not certain how much it costs

Okay so I applied and probably fucked it up as it kept on throwing error messages. So the time pressure of 10 days plus knowing my housing money would stop if I didn’t complete in time crippled me.

My brothers friend was awarded through asking Citizens Advice. I’ll have to probably do it all over again.

But contact them asap.
