In the DWP's guidance notes that comes with the PIP application form they list velcro as a dressing aid.

Disability Rights website PIP guide has a draft diary that you can adapt.  Keep a diary for at least seven consecutive days.

I suggest you phone the DWP and ask. Could be they've only paid part of a month's DLA because your PIP starts tomorrow but check they haven't made a mistake.
