    Hi,

    PIP points are based on your ability to complete activities. They are not based on any diagnosis.

    You can see a list of the descriptors and points here - PIP - table of activities, descriptors and points

    PIP is split into two parts, Daily Living tasks, and Mobility tasks. You need at least 8 points in either section for a standard award. Or at least 12 points in either section for an enhanced award.
