Can I just confirm that you mean Question 5 Managing Treatments and not Question 3?
On the assumption that it is just a typo.
On the face of it would seem difficult for you to score points if you are not being supervised when you take your medication, however, the assessor must still apply the word "reliably" to this and the other activities you are being assessed against.
Reliably means that any activity must be performed
• Safely – in a fashion that is unlikely to cause harm to themselves or to another person.
• To a necessary and appropriate standard – given the nature of the activity.
• Repeatedly – as often as is reasonably required.
• In a timely manner – in a reasonable time period.
So if you can show examples where you have failed to take your medication as required and how frequently this occurs then it may still be possible to score points.
Have a look at the PIP Guide for a more detailed information.
