    Heya @Sprindaledope and welcome to the community.

    So what brings you here today? If you need help with anything, please just ask away and we'll all do our best to support you.
    Or if you just fancied a light hearted chat, or a few easy games, I'd recommend checking out the coffee lounge and the games den. 😊

    I have a question on PIP. Let’s say a person uses 6 things for example:- 1. holding onto the bed to get out of bed, 2. walking crutches, 3. attached bath rails, 4. Step climber, 5. Back scrub, 6. Incontinence brief.

    Does each item qualify for 1 individual point giving a score of 6 points or are they treated as a whole for just 1 point? The DWP use a definition of an aid but there are 6 aids used.

    No problem at all @Sprindaledope happy to help.
    The points are given per descriptor. So if you used multiple items for one descriptor, it'd still count as just the one point. Though if one item is used in multiple descriptors, it's count for each of those. I hope that makes sense ?
