I care for my wife but have own health issues severe copd etc and assume I can't claim pip is this correct? Don't bother because you do everyday things for wife etc so then be you can mange etc.
I know many couples who claim PIP, they are able to help each other overcome their disabilities.
When applying for PIP, it is not so much the condition per se that the DWP is interested in, but how that condition/s impacts a claimant's daily life and mobility as set out in the PIP criteria. We are not assessors or medical professionals, so cannot give a view on what you will get and at what level. Two people can have identical conditions but be given different awards.
To see if you are eligible check out our PIP self-tester; PIP self test
