Welcome to the community @Posofserend I hope that the above link helps you to understand the current criteria a little better.
Just to make you aware, I renamed your post slightly so that other users will be able to find it more easily. -
I was awarded my PIP a few months ago. I would have updated you but for a very hectic house move. Thanks again.
