    Hello @chodhry and welcome to the community. 
    It is difficult to help with filling in one of these forms on-line. It is better to get somebody local to help you. The following quote is from an information page at Scope.

    "Where can I get help filling out my PIP claim form?

    You can find a very helpful question-by-question guide to filling in your PIP claim form on the Citizens Advice website.

    Your nearest Citizens Advice Bureau should also be able to provide you with PIP advice and guidance on filling out the form.

    Check Scope’s Services Directory to see if there is a local information and advice service which can assist you with the form-filling.

    If you cannot complete the form in time call the PIP claim line as soon as possible and ask for an extension."

    I hope this helps. Others will, I am sure, respond to your post soon.

    Warmest best wishes to you

    Richard @JennysDad

    Hi @chodhry
    Welcome to the community, the CAB guide to filling in your PIP form that @JennysDad suggested is great and has really helped so many of our members.

    We also have this video about preparing for a  PIP assessment that might help

    So many members have been in your position so do have a look around the community and join in.  If you use the search facility at the top of the page to look for PIP forms or PIP assessments you will find tons of posts from our members on these subjects.

    Best of luck and let us know if you have any questions and we can try to help :)

    The above sites are usually great but I feel I need to advise you, and anyone else out there PLEASE make sure you have someone with you during Your assessment, pehaps if possible, and with permission taking notes! As with my case and quite a few people I know have had their words twisted/used against them especially if like myself you have memory problems. God bless
