People do score 12 points for this descriptor but with very little information it's impossible to give any advice.

Hi @poppy123456 yes your advice definitely helped as was used to DLA and Pip is very different reading your advice to myself and others helped me understand it better so thank you all 3 now have pip and after all the horror stories I had read on here we've actually had it rather easy.
I wish you good luck with your daughters claim. x
