Hello, I'm new here and this is my first post..I'm currently at the stage of applying for Pip on behalf of my 16 year old. The forms arrived this morning and I have till the end of the month to get them back. I'm feeling very out of my depth and I want to do the best for my son.
I have never done this before and it's a completely different criteria to DLA so any advice is welcome.
Do I write lots of information or should I keep it to the point. Do I need to refer to the evidence when I write or can I leave them to look through and link it all together?
Any advice at all would be really appreciated..many thanks!

Pay attention to the information at the bottom of this page particularly around being ble to things reliably.
