You will be qualifie for pip when you have some of the causes:
1- you’re 16 or over you have a long-term .
2-physical or mental health condition or disability , find it hard to do everyday tasks or get around because of a physical or mental condition - you can make a claim whether you get help from another person or not.
3-you expect the difficulties to last for at least 12 months from when they started.
4-You must also be under State Pension age if you’ve not received PIP before.

usually be living in England, Scotland or Wales when you apply , have lived in England, Scotland or Wales for at least 2 years - unless you're a refugee or an immediate family member of a refugee.

There are exceptions to these rules if you’re terminally ill or in the armed forces.

If you’re already getting DLA and the DWP asks you to claim PIP there are different rules.

If you have a terminal illness the rules about how long you've found things hard and been living in England, Wales or Scotland for 2 years don’t apply. See our advice on how to claim PIP if you’re terminally ill.

If you’re in the armed forces (or a close family member of someone who is) the rules on living and applying in England, Wales or Scotland don’t apply.

PIP is not based on the condition you have or the medication you take. It is based on the level of help you need because of how your condition affects you.

You’re assessed on the level of help you need with specific activities. It’s hard to say if the level of help you need will qualify you for PIP. But, if you get or need help with any of the following because of your condition, then you should have a PIP, But, if you get or need help with any of the following because of your condition, you should consider applying:
-preparing and cooking food.
-eating and drinking.
-managing your treatments.
-washing and bathing.
-dressing and undressing.
-communicating with other people.
-reading and understanding written information.
-mixing with others.
-making decisions about money.
-planning a journey or following a route
moving around.
-The help you get may be from a person, an aid (such as a walking stick or guide dog) or an adaptation to your home or car.

If you’re over State Pension age, you can apply for Attendance Allowance instead. Or if you’ve received PIP before, you can still make a new claim if you were eligible for it in the year before you reached State Pension age.
