💨 Abstract

The article discusses the author's experience applying for Personal Independence Payment (PIP) in the UK in 2017, a benefit for people with disabilities. The author, who was born without a left hand, found the process frustrating as she had to provide 'supporting evidence' in the form of a doctor's note. She felt this was unnecessary as her disability was visible, and she had received Disability Living Allowance as a child.
