Hi
I get a very small private pension and am not yet entitled to the state pension as I am not old enough.
I have just been awarded PIP and am getting the lower rate of both elements - just wondered if I was entitled to anything else ?
Thank you

I've moved this across to the benefit board as I think you will get more responses than on the Up your income board.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the eBay, Auctions, Car Boot & Jumble Sales, Boost Your Income, Praise, Vents & Warnings, Overseas Holidays & Travel Planning , UK Holidays, Days Out & Entertainments boards. If you need any help on these boards, do let me know.. Please note that Ambassadors are not moderators.
