With the form, how do you fill it out?
The way mine was written, it implied you had to be a [removed by moderator] to get anything. Is this true? 
Mum said there was no point filling it in because I wasn't that bad.

    dont think [removed by moderator] is appropriate or nice to say.

    Okay, well if it is just how it affects me, then it really doesn't. I guess I'm okay just to not have extra money. I would love to have extra money.

    Hi @Awesomelorenzo, here is the PIP descriptors if you haven't had chance to look at them.

    Here is some more info that might be helpful:

    PIP components

    PIP has 2 parts:

    • daily living component for people who need help to take part in everyday life
    • mobility component for people who find it hard to get around

    Each component has a standard or enhanced level, assessed under 12 activities, 10 for daily living and 2 for mobility. For both components, you need:

    • 8 to 11 points for the standard rate
    • 12 points or more for the enhanced rate

    To qualify, you must have met the conditions for 3 months and be likely to meet them for the next 9 months.

    Do a PIP self-test (Benefits and Money)

    If there is anything else we can do to help then please do let us know. :)
