I am just starting to fill in the PIP form because of my Cervical Dystonia.  If anyone has the same condition and has any suggestions or advice it would be much appreciated.
Thanks
All the best

Jeremy

    Hi,
    PIP isn't awarded based on any diagnosis so comparing others to yourself isn't advised because we're all affected differently by these conditions.
    When you fill out the forms you should include a couple of real world incidents of exactly what happened the last time you attempted that activity for each descriptor that applies to you. Adding information such as where you were, what exactly happened, did anyone see it and what the consequences were. You should aim for at least half an A4 page per descriptor. https://pipinfo.net/

    Hello @JeremyLucas

    I wanted to wish you a warm welcome to the community, I hope you are well and have had a nice day.

    We have several categories on the community one of which is related to PIP. I have moved your discussion over to that category and edited the title a bit so that other members know what your thread is about. 

     

    This is a very supportive and welcoming site to be a part of so I’m sure you’ll find it to be a positive outlet, feel free to have a look around and get involved wherever you’d like 😊 A few notable pages I’d recommend visiting would be:

    • The virtual coffee lounge which is one of our categories, in which we play games and talk about general subjects such as hobbies and interests
    • The recent discussions page, which shows an overview of everything happening across the community
    • The categories page, which shows a full list of discussion groups on the community

    If you have any questions at all then don’t hesitate to ask.
