    There are no standard questions but they will explore the difficulties you have.
    You answer truthfully but try and avoid yes/no answers. If they say ‘can you do ... ‘ your answer should be along the lines of ‘i find it difficult to do that because ...’

    Just to add, that if you haven't done so before, have a look at the PIP activities/descriptors: https://www.cambridgeshire.gov.uk/asset-library/Personal-Independence-Payment-Descriptors-and-Scores-April-2021.pdf    As well as calcotti's advice, look at the notes at the end of this link, which mention whether you can do something reliably, i.e. safely, to an acceptable standard, as often as it would be expected a person without a disability would normally do, & in a reasonable amount of time. So, if any of those might be relevant, they should also be added to why you find an activity difficult
