Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) reveals there has been a dramatic fall in the number of people applying for Personal Independence Payments (PIP) since the coronavirus pandemic began.
PIP is a benefit for people who need help with daily living tasks or getting around as a result of a long-term illness or disability.
Many people are put off claiming PIP for a number of reasons and could be missing out on hundreds of extra pounds of support each month.
Even though lockdown restrictions are still in place across Scotland, now is an ideal opportunity to set aside some time and start the process - or at the very least, consider it.
