i just recieved my pip review form (ar1) very recently and im stuck on this question from section 4 (about your medication):

'Do you them as prescribed?''

□YES

□NO

(this is how it looks on the ar1

I dont understand what they are asking? Do they mean am I adherant to it? if thats the case well yes im adherent but only when my carer prompts me (but some meds of mine, i would need my carer to physically administer it). Or do they mean do I underdose or overdose???

I just don't understand how this is a yes or no and has no box!

Is it a trick question? I'm sure the vast majority of PIP claimants relate because we don't want to misinterpret any question or say things that the DWP twist to fit their narrative, so i would appreciate your advice on it.

Thank you XD

    It means do you take them as prescribed by your GP,once/twice a day etc whether you take them yourself or your carer gives them to you, if you do then the answer is yes.
