Hi, has anyone had a decision on a PIP claim based on the client having long covid?

I put a claim in a while back for one of my clients and it is taking considerably longer than other claims we have submitted, so just wondered whether they may be waiting on guidance etc, or if anyone knew anyone who had been awarded for long covid?

Thanks!

Hi Robbo, could you please send us a quote of the relevant part you mentioned here, as this page is behind a pay wall. Many thanks

Not sure the page exists any more as I’m getting a 404 error.

The news item about it is still available - https://www.benefitsandwork.co.uk/news/long-covid-pip-claims-supplement  - but the supplement itself is only for members.  And we don’t have a membership any more, sadly.

Interestingly I suspect we don’t either.
