Just got my review form . Absolutely bricking it ..I could lose my mobility car my PIP n ESA. I'm panicking as I lost it all 3 years ago this included my home n my pets n has to go to magistrate's court to appeal up against 4 disgustingly vile people who were more concerned about how I ponytailed my hair n nothing else . I have got much worse since my re-enstated PIP

Hello @lyd6dg and welcome to the community.
New here myself, not much more than a 'listener and sharer', I don't have an answer to your specific concerns, but there will be others here who will be able to help you. You are among friends here. And if listening is all I can effectively do, at present, I will do it
Very best wishes to you

hello lyd6dg and welcome
The first thing is to understand the points system,descriptors and the criteria for an award. A good starting place is the B&W self test

Thank you have tried again to fill it in but find it overwhelms my brain so I put it back down n its gets closer to the date it has to be returned to by0

Just try breaking it down and do a bit at a time, try not to worry about it. All you have to do is explain the difficulties you have and why. Remember to keep a copy of it before you send it off

Yes I keep thinking I' ll do a bit each day .what scares me is the assesors don't understand my symptoms ..0

The main thing to try and explain is the difficulties you have with performing the descriptor activties. PIP is not so much about your condition, disability or symtoms but about how they affect the things you can and cannot do.
So for example, if you have difficulty preparing food, why is this
do you need an aid to chop vegetables because your grip is poor due to arthritis ?
do you need to sit when using a cooker hob because you become breathless due to asthema
Do you need assistance or supervision to prepare and cook a simple meal because you lose concentration and forget that things are cooking /hot/not cooked properly ?
Try doing this for each descriptor one at a time. Make notes as you go through each section and transfer to the form when you are happy with your answers.
Do one descriptor at a time then take a break
