@Priadel800
You get PIP points not for your conditions but how they affect your ability to carry out daily tasks and to walk. If you take a long time to do things even using aids you get some points. Complete as many categories as you can and don't tick the 'it varies' box under walking; tick a specific distance box. Complete a 7-day diary to submit with your form.
Read the PIP sections on the Disability Rights and CAB websites.
I thought I was going to lose all my benefits but was awarded standard rate daily needs and mobility. However, I am appealing for enhanced rate both. But at least I go something even if I don't win appeal.
Good luck with your application.1 -
