When talking about medication and side effects do you continuity have to keep listing what side effects each different tablet gives you or will sending in your repeat prescription and listing the medication at the start of the form be enough? I.E " Because of my medication side effects its difficult to get motivated to undertake a journey" do i now need to list the tablets and give examples of the side effects?

Not all claimants will suffer from any side effects when they take a particular medicine and those that do may only suffer from some effects. If you do not explain what side effects actually cause problems with your ability to complete the PIP activities then those assessing won't know and will likely assume that there are no problems.

A simple example would be preparing a claimants pill's each day and then assisting them with actually taking them during the day.

Is a copy of a repeat prescription and letter from gp requesting a home visit OK to send in with my form or does it have to be the originals?

Never send originals unless specifically asked to by the DWP.
