I need help filling in my form. Can anyone help? I also don't have a photocopier to sent evidence

Hi @philby7 - welcome to the community. As mentioned above, do ring the PIP enquiry number 0800 121 4433 to say you need longer to complete your claim form....they will give you another 2 weeks.

Now, don't panic, even if you talk to someone else about your claim form, you are still going to have to tell them how your disability affects you, so you can do this.

If you haven't come across the activities/descriptors that are looked at with PIP, now is the time to do so. This link should be helpful: https://www.cambridgeshire.gov.uk/asset-library/Personal-Independence-Payment-Descriptors-and-Scores-April-2021.pdf

If you have problems with mental health, this may be better: https://www.mentalhealthandmoneyadvice.org/en/welfare-benefits/pip-mental-health-guide/help-with-your-pip-claim/how-to-fill-in-the-pip-form/

It might be an idea to keep a simple diary for a few days/a week; sometimes we get so used to how we cope/manage some of the activities that you forget that others without a disability don't have to do this. Just write down anything that you struggle with whether it be difficulty with physical/mental health problems. Once you've listed your conditions, what really matters with your claim form is not your condition(s), but, as the booklet says, 'How your disability affects you.' For each activity you have difficulty with try & give 2 really detailed examples as to what happens when you attempt/do this. So, say when it happened recently, what exactly happened, why did you have difficulty, did someone witness it, & what. if any were the consequences of this, e.g. did it leave you exhausted, breathless, in pain, did it worsen anxiety? Did you need help/support, did you need prompting, did you have to use an aid, etc.?

If you can't do an activity 'reliably,' you may also gain points.....so, can you do an activity safely, to an acceptable standard, can you repeat it as often as you'd like, or does it take you longer than someone who doesn't have your disability? It's this sort of detailed individual response that will help you with your PIP claim. Hope this helps, & do come back with any questions.
