Hey guys,

helping my husband with serve adult adhd with his PIP application was wondering if anyone has any advice on getting a successful application - we have read that only 20% get approved x

The stats for new claim awards isn't as low as 20%, it's 42% up until Jan 2023. https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/personal-independence-payment-statistics-to-january-2023/personal-independence-payment-statistics-april-2013-to-january-2023

When filling out the form you should include a couple of real world examples of exactly what happened the last time he attempted each descriptor that applies to him.

Adding detailed information such as where he was, what exactly happened, did anyone see it and what the consequences were. You should aim for at least half an A4 side of paper per descriptor that applies.

PIP isn't awarded based on any diagnosis, it's how those conditions affect you against the PIP descriptors. Having a disability doesn't automatically entitle anyone to a disability benefit such as PIP.

There's also a guide here to completing the form. https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/benefits/sick-or-disabled-people-and-carers/pip/help-with-your-claim/fill-in-form-pip/
