Hi, I am very new to this site and really glad at least I found the site which can help me with this complicated procedure. I have applied the PIP back in December and finally having my medical assessment soon. It will be a home visit and really not sure what to expect therefor I will try to read as much information as I can. I am fear to do or say something wrong while I have a right to claim this, I have 3 chronic conditions which make my life very difficult to live and I don't know what would I do without my husband all this time. If I success my application for PIP how long my clam will be backdated to .? Thank you .
