So, I will start off here,
Medically released, over a year ago. I work a stable job, Difference is that I for medical reasons (Mental and Physical) work from home.
My Case Manager who has been pretty kick ass since I switched has now had me apply for it.
Being Medically required to work from home, She suggested that I apply for PIA, and having 81% total awarded. They have even sent in an occupational therapist and spent several thousand retrofitting my home office.
I am all hell confused as to what it is. It is supposed to be a benefit if you are not gainfully employed? or have a disability that prevents "Normal" employment.
Someone can have a permanent impairment, and be gainfully employed. It slightly seems ridiculous that now with the ELB at 90% you can add the PIA to the ELB and make more then when you were in.
I do not mean to stray outside my arcs here, but can someone who has received a favourable PIA application let me know what it is? and the rough circumstances as to why they received it?
TIA
