Hello, I have chronic Achilles tendonitis which has flared up & I am in considerable pain & I get out of breath due to my obesity when I walk, sorry about the woeful story I'm trying to fill my pip form in & q14 is upsetting me because I'm having to write about how I move around. Can anyone help please who has been through this sort of thing or similar? Much appreciated

Hi there @Chico_1211 sorry to hear how filling out your PIP form is upsetting, it can be quite a triggering process to manage.
If it's helpful, remember PIP is about assessing how you can manage (or can't manage things) for a majority of the time. Is there anything you're unsure about when it comes to question 14 on the form?
You'd be welcome to call or email the Scope Helpline to speak to one of our advisers directly as well.
Have you spoken to your GP about pain management? it can be really draining trying to manage things without support, so if you can, let them know how things are.1
