Please have a look at our PIP Claim guide it explains the PIP process in detail including the information you will need to make a claim and the criteria that you will need to meet for an award and how to complete the claim form when you receive it.

Be aware that the PIP assessment process is very different from DLA and it is a lot more difficult to receive an award.

www.benefitsandwork.co.uk/help-for-claimants/pip

There will be assumptions about your capabilities if you drive, the best way to deal with this is to explain how you manage to drive in the claim form rather than allowing the assessor to make assumptions.

If you have further questions then please reply to this post and we will do our best to help.

If that's all you have then it's all you can send, spend some time explaining how your conditions affect you now in comparison to how they did when the reports were produced.

Have you spoken to your GP about the help they might be able to provide?
