    Are you wanting to write a letter supporting your PIP?

    I understand you want a letter to support your PIP but I don't understand why you need one from your carers?

    Can you clarify, what the letter is for and who is writing it?

    e @jaykay Does your carer know anything about the PIP points system, in other words the criteria for the higher rate of Mobility. If not they may give the right information. Please be aware that although you are trying to increase your rate of mobility your whole claim will be looked at and you may be risking losing points as well as gaining them. Good Luck anyway....

    Hi @jaykay,

    Welcome to the community. I've moved your post to our PIP category.

    They ignore the letters anyway. I had one from a friend and another from my mum saying pretty much the same thing and were both ignored.

    When I write letters to the Benefits Office, I write them as clearly as possible assuming the people reading it doesn't know my situation
