A PIP1 form is only sent out to PIP claimants that have difficulty in replying to questions if they're unable to ring up to begin their claim, or prefer to post their reply. The PIP2 form is the 'How does your disability affect you' form, which initial claimants then need to complete. The AR1 is a review form which isn't relevant to you @Passerby There's also an AR2 which is for 'light touch' reviews.
You should ring up to claim, then you'll receive the PIP2 form to complete. Ringing up to claim is faster, & any successful claim will be from the date of this phone call (so quicker than a postal completion of the PIP1).

The forms are definitely quite confusing and can be difficult to try to understand what it is that they are actually asking of us.

Morning all. I hope everyone is doing ok today.
Please may I remind everybody of the house rules. Sometimes it's not the context of the discussion, but how we address one another π
As I mentioned yesterday, it's understandably an incredibly important subject to discuss, so we're all bound to have strong and sometimes differing opinions, but we must discuss these differences in a respectful way.
I've added a link to the rules below for anybody who wants to look at the specifics.
Best wishes to all,
Holly

On the question about Badenoch's claim, for disabled people this would be bad as the ECHR protects our rights. It is bad for most people, honestly, because it protects everyone's rights - Those wanting rid of it generally want to do more cutting/create more inequality/ and change more things without having to be held accountable. This includes things like work related laws and so on, so yes, it's bad.
I am wondering if the reason the government are avoiding making any clear statements on PIP etc is that they are waiting for the consultation period to end. Otherwise by this point it feels politically self destructive to keep refusing to listen. Though it would be helpful if the MSM were more interested in this story.
I can't do a PIP claim over the phone - I have an advocate who did my review although the call came out of the blue. I hate the original form as well. I cannot answer "often/sometimes" questions because they are not specific or accurate enough and so I end up writing additional information on the questions to qualify what I mean.
And I always end up with an additional statement at the end tacked on because I'm never sure I've been able to answer properly.
These often/sometimes/the majority of days questions were ones I also fell down on in my assessment. I told the assessor I didn't understand/couldn't quantify the questions as per my life. She interpreted my inability to answer as my not having any issues with anything, unfortunately :/0 -
Who agrees that the government has it's priorities wrong ?
"An Β£86bn package for the science and technology sector will help fund research into drug treatments and longer-lasting batteries, the government has said ahead of Wednesday's Spending Review.β

As I said before, political parties are just paint on the locomotive of real power. Whether you paint the locomotive white or black - it doesn't matter, it will only go where the rails are. Elections are a decision on what color it will be painted. And nothing more.
No one stole anyone's ideas - this is the idea of ββreal power, not the clowns from the parties.2 -

@Passerby - there's no harm in including your WCA report, tho UC & PIP are completely different benefits, so only if you think it's relevant to your PIP claim.
The most important info is that you provide yourself as your GP doesn't see you dress, bathe or budget etc. PIP rarely get in touch with your GP/consultants. Your diagnoses won't be in any doubt & remember that PIP is looking at your functional ability to 'reliably' do any of the applicable descriptors. PIP is also about how you are the majority of days, so try & indicate how often you have difficulty with these PIP activities.
I think it's sometimes useful to keep a diary for a week or so as sometimes we're so used to how we manage some daily living activities that we don't always realise that we can struggle to complete them.
This is very useful, & please do look at the 'reliability' section as it's very important:
