    Not specifically. Have a look at the descriptors to see which may apply to your circumstance

    No it's not just about night time, it's how you are 50% of the time. See the PIP descriptors here to see which ones you think apply to you. It depends how your conditions affect you.

    Hello @ereilly26 Pleased to meet you welcome.

    Thank you for your question. 

    When and if it does according to the booklet I have in front of me.   That you get with the PIP form. 

    How your disability effects you Information booklet ..  So daily activities means the moment you wake up to getting ready for bed.

     I know I added about meds at my bedtime. Have and do have problems opening up the blister packs of meds.

    Always spilling meds. 

    I hope that helps. Please ask if we can advise on anything. 

    Pleasure to meet you

    PIP is all about dressing/undressing, washing, preparing/cooking food, budgeting, taking nutrition, communicating etc and the mobility activities moving around and following and planning a journey. I don't see how any of those would fall into sleep walking. If the descriptors don't apply to you then you won't score the points for an award.

    Have you looked at the PIP descriptors i posted?
