Hi everyone, 

will it help my claim for pip if I include information about a specific physical  therapy I have every month ?  - like a general print out online regarding information about the type of therapy and how it helps ease my anxiety and depression, unfortunately, not everyone understands the type of physical therapy I have, it’s similar to acupuncture. 

I found an article online explaining about the treatment.

    The therapy must take place in your own home and must be prescribed or recommended by a registered doctor, nurse, pharmacist or health professional regulated by the Health Professions Council; and also depends on whether you need supervision, prompting and/or assistance to be able to complete the therapy.
    If any of these apply you need to explain why the therapy is needed and what support/assistance/prompting is needed and what would happen if you didn't have this.
    Print outs of information are not helpful.
