Using first person (I) or third person (he/she) when filling in PIP form for someone else.

Hello,
When filling in a PIP form for another adult, should I write in the first person as if they were writing it themselves eg. “I can’t read because I can’t see” or third person as though someone is writing about them eg. “John can’t read because he can’t see”. This is the actual form questions 1 to 15, not the supporting documents.
Thank you.

@SeaOtter, hello and welcome, I would write the answers to the pip questions using the persons, claimants name. When you or the claimant has to sign the questionnaire you will declare that you filled in the application form on behalf of the persons name, because of his or hers inabilities to function because of his or hers disability, illnesses as described, noted in the application form.0

When I completed the forms two summers ago I used my son’s name L (full name omitted for privacy reasons). Say you are doing it on the claimant’s behalf when asked.0
