We understand that living with long-term health conditions like Crohn’s or Colitis may have an impact on your financial situation. You could be entitled to benefits to help you support yourself.
Please be aware that from Spring 2022, the Scottish government will start to replace PIP with Adult Disability Payment. This means that if you are living in Scotland after Spring 2022, our information on PIP may not be relevant for you. You can find information on Adult Disability Payment on Citizens Advice Scotland or Social Security Scotland - Benefits.
(depending on where you live)
If you require more information on benefits, then Citizens Advice can offer up to date information including an online benefit check. Remember to make sure you are checking information relevant to the country where you live:

Scotland: citizensadvice.org.uk/scotland
Wales: citizensadvice.org.uk/wales
We know it can be difficult to live with, or support someone living with these conditions. But you’re not alone. We provide up-to-date, evidence-based information and can support you to live well with Crohn’s or Colitis.
