From Full DLA to Zero PIP

Marjorie

You are not required to complete the PIP activities without pain but any pain that prevents you from completing an activity should be taken into account.

I would recommend that you go back through your PIP2, the assessment report and he PIP claim to make sure that you have explained your problems in sufficient detail and that you have shown that you meet the criteria to score points.

You don't mention whether any aids would be of assistance to you in completing the PIP activities.

Also make sure you have made reference to "reliably" and "on the majority of days" wherever relevant.

This would be something to include in your review of your previous answers, especially if you can show previous examples where you have suffered similar injuries.

As my hands / wrists are weak, I cannot use any aids to help me prepare meals, have a shower, get dressed etc.
I cannot use walking sticks or crutches for the same reason - I cannot grip them reliably.

Marjorie.

Did you explain this explicitly in your PIP2 with examples of the problems you would have using particular aids?
