Hi there,
Can anyone advise on how to fill out a PIP form for my 17 year old with ADHD please?  Or any websites that help?  She needs help with EVERYTHING :(  and at the moment whilst at college a part time job is out of the question as she simply will not cope.  
Thanks

    Hi and welcome 

    Just take each descriptor at a time and give examples of what happens when she tries to do each task 

    Can she do it if not why not   does she need support or use aids   does someone do it for her if so who and how often 

    Can she do it safely reliably and repeatedly,  has she had any accidents or hurt herself trying to do them 

    What are the consequences of doing something eg if she dresses herself she cant do anything else for rest of day due to fatigue 

    Give as much detail as you can   some people include a daily diary as evidence or a letter from someone who sees her all the time and can explain what her daily living is like 

    Hope this helps thetr I'd also lots of advice in our PIP section
