There is a lot of advice on here about filling in forms which you will find in the PIP section, good luck for your claim keep us updated
The PIP descriptors are on the link below -
https://www.benefitsandwork.co.uk/personal-independence-payment-pip/pip-points-system
Reliability has four components each of which must be satisfied in order for an activity to be undertaken ‘reliably’. The four components are:
- Safely
- To an acceptable standard
- Repeatedly
- In a reasonable time
If you cannot satisfy the 4 components of reliability for any descriptor, you should be treated as if you cannot do it all. Be sure to mention if you can only carry out a descriptor once or occasionally. Remember to use the word " BUT "For example, if bathing was a problem due to pain you could put -
"I can bathe myself, BUT only if the pain and discomfort I'm in allows me to do so. If the pain is too great (as it often is), I'd need my partner to assist me. I CANNOT bathe myself without assistance on every occasion."
Good luck !!
