Who can claim PIP ??

I’ve just been diagnosed with CIS (which will definitely turn into MS in the future) and was wondering if CIS is a part of the PIP allowance. I received PIP a couple years back and they stopped it as I wasn’t “ill enough” what a joke ! Anyone got any advice would be highly appreciated!

Hi if u have had a clinically isolated syndrome (cis) I don’t think that will qualify for anything. I’m sorry it has started for you so young. I hope you won’t have any further problems but even if you do you will still have a few years to start a career xx

@feltwright

It will depend on how well you can cope with everyday tasks. Having a diagnosis isn’t enough of itself. A lot of MSers get turned down despite struggling. Hope you stay well, just look after yourself with diet, exercise rest etc
