It's slightly bad, I know, but it's best to exaggerate things ever-so-slightly and to cover EVERY challenge that your Husband faces every day and throughout it... The chances are that you'll be interviewed face to face with an assessor. That's also why it is best to photocopy your forms so that you can recall what you wrote down and sent to them. Send copies of EVERY medical notes/diagnosis's that you have, and hospital appointments etc. The more documents that you have to back-up your claims, the better... They will be assessing your Husband's disabilities 'now' 'today' and not yesterday or what he has been through before. If you need more room to explain things than is on the form, simply use more paper and send them with the form too. 

@Roddy - I don't agree with your suggestions, sorry.

If you "exaggerate things ever-so-slightly" that is fraudulent (albeit only ever-so-slightly) because you are making a statement that isn't true.

Also if you send "copies of EVERY medical note and diagnosis's" I don't believe that these will add anything, unless they specifically address a lack of functionality. DWP specifically state that appointment letters are of no use.

My advice would be to tell the truth. Whether you get PIP, or not, you will still have your honesty left once the process is complete.

Each to their own, and I'm not suggesting for one minute that anybody should tell lies. It's just that it's very difficult for some to explain their own diagnosis in words, as best that it NEEDS to be explained. If this wasn't the case then so many people would NOT be losing the entitlements. Sending copies of medical diagnosis's and specialist notes, most certainly do help a claim, and many claims are refused due to insufficient medical evidence.

Medical notes definitely help and if your doctor and hospital nurse / doctor write s a letter stating how poorly u are that really helps as I’ve got all that now just waiting for my tribunal date so I’m hoping that helps me know but I know friends who has done this and it’s helped so much but definitely each to there own x
