    Hi there @john54 How are you on this soggy day?

    With PIP, it's not so much about providing evidence, though that can be helpful, it's about showing how your struggles tick the boxes for each descriptor. So if you have difficulty preparing food, you'll need to explain WHY you have difficulty preparing food. Does that make sense? 

    Scope has a great page on applying for PIP here.

    I see from a previous thread that you're always claiming PIP. When was the decision made on that claim?
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.
