    HI,
    Yes, perfectly normal to ask those questions when you start a claim for PIP. It's worth remembering that it's not a medical form. It's the "how your disability affects you form" Or PIP2 as it's also known as. The assessment process is definitely not a medical.
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.
