Filling in PIP

Hi everyone
I am diagnosed with Depression and Anxiety FM OA and Scoliosis. I‘m confused about filling in this form and the descriptors. For Cooking and Washing I both need persuading and assistance to do this. Can anyone advise as to which one I answer to?

The key thing is that you don't have to make a choice. Just give a practical real world example of when you needed prompting and assistance.
Good luck with the claim and keep us updated
It's great that you have been looking at the descriptors when filling out your PIP form. I would suggest that you mention both prompting and assisting. You can only meet one criteria for each descriptor, but saying both will give them more background.
I hope this helps.
