Hello @Jw09

If it says you have difficulty with these things, it should be helpful for your PIP claim.

"initiating and completing personal actions" means starting doing things and finishig them.

"coping with change and social engagement" means how well you do when things don't go to plan, or change without warning, and how easy you find it to talk to and be around other people.

@Jw09 firstly, welcome to Scope.

Basically, the doctor is saying that you might struggle with starting and finishing everyday tasks on your own, handling changes in routine, and interacting with people socially. This could mean things like needing reminders to do things, feeling overwhelmed when plans change, or finding social situations difficult. These are important factors in a PIP claim because they show how your condition affects your daily life. If the doctor has mentioned them on your form, it could help your case by showing that you need support.
