Hello, I hope this post finds you all safe and well as can be. I fully understand that PIP, goes by how my condition effects me from day to day. But, I was wondering if I could put a photo in of the aid that I use in order to help with my problems. I have a hair wash brush type of thing, because I can’t use my right arm properly. And a couple of other things that I have to use, in order to help myself. I was wondering if when I say, I’m unable to use my right arm properly, I try to use this, and tell them what it is, and show them a photo? I’m not talking about A4 size, just a small passport size photo, in order to show as well as tell them. Thank you for taking the time to read this. Take care and stay safe.

    Personally, i wouldn't put a photo in because it doesn't mean anything. It could be a photo of some else's "aid." You're much better off sticking to the anecdotal evidence.. a couple of real world examples of what happened the last time you attempted that activity for each descriptor that applies to you. Include information such as where you were, what exactly happened, did anyone see it and what the consequences were.
