The questions look simple. The rules behind them aren't.
PIP is based on how your health condition or disability affects specific daily-living and mobility activities.
An answer such as “I can cook” or “I can shower” might not explain the full picture if an activity cannot be completed reliably.
The pack helps you think through what actually happens in your own life and record the relevant facts.
Can you do it in a way that's unlikely to cause harm to you or anyone else, during or after the activity?
Can you complete it to an acceptable standard, not just attempt it?
Can you repeat it as often as is reasonably required?
Can you do it in no more than twice as long as someone without your condition would normally take?

Turn “I struggle” into useful, specific detail
A useful description is usually built from specific facts about what actually happens to you: what goes wrong, why, what help you use, how often and how long it takes.
“I struggle to prepare food.”
“Arthritis in my hands means I can't grip a knife to chop vegetables or safely lift a pan of water. Last month I dropped one and scalded my wrist. I use a perching stool and buy pre-chopped vegetables, but a simple meal still takes me over an hour, and afterwards my hands are too painful to use for the rest of the evening. This happens about five days a week.”
Example for illustration only. Your answers must describe your own circumstances.
Made for people who want to understand the form before they send it back
- Preparing a new PIP claim
- Completing the “How your disability affects you” form
- Organising supporting information
- Preparing for a possible assessment
- Preparing for an award review
Scotland uses Adult Disability Payment for new disability-benefit claims and Northern Ireland administers PIP separately.
What it is not
- No “magic words”.
- No guaranteed award.
- No advice to exaggerate.
- No pretending a diagnosis automatically qualifies.
The pack helps you understand the criteria and explain your actual circumstances accurately. It is not legal or welfare-rights advice. Free specialist help is also available from Citizens Advice and local welfare-rights services, and the pack tells you where to find it.
Get organised before you send your form back.
