in PIP, DLA, and AA
I am looking for some advise regarding filling ou PIP assessment form. I know you can put day to day aids you use to help example pill box ect chair .... Does any one know if the DWP are disgarding anything as aids in day to day care as evidence. I know they are constantly  asking changes. Any advice would be appreciated

    Hello @charlie79 thanks for your question :)

    For each of the PIP questions, the assessor is wanting to know how your condition impacts on each descriptor, and what consequences there were if you attempted any of them previously. You can reference needing to use aids to carry out an activity safely.

    I'm sure our members will be able to explain it better than I can, but does that make sense?

    It depends what you use because not everything is classed as an aid for PIP.
