    Thank you for replying @berry123 - we have some great members who can help with PIP should you need it. Are you claiming any other benefits?

    For assessment gave copy of your form with you to refer to 

    Also prepare to give real examples of what happens when you try and do the tasks included in the descriptors 

    How you do them if you cant do them why not , do you need help or use aids x can you do it safely and repeatedly,  have you had any accidents doing a task and so on 

    You may find some info in PIP section from other members

    Oh thank you. I have made copies of everything I sent when I applied before in 2016 I never sent no documents evidence.  I was declined even though I told assessor I can't do nothing.

    When you filled out the form did you give reasons why you can't do that activity? Just telling them you can't do something isn't going to help at all.

    No one can tell you what questions they will ask during your assessment. The first part will be for you to verify what you wrote in the form, as well as any additional information they need.
