DLA to PIP help

Sue wrote: Hi all, I am new to the forum and am just going through the DLA to PIP change, I am working through keeping a diary and getting the form filled in, slowly, I am registered blind with minimal sight, I use hearing aids, I also have fibromyalgia, menieres, BAM, diverticulitis and back problems, how on earth do I make them see that as indivials issues they are manageable but as they all have differing effects when they coalesce it is agony. I really am stuck and any advice would be great, Thank you

You need to be able to complete the PIP activities "reliably" and "on the majority of days" to not score points.

You can record your problems in completing an activity as being due to one specific condition, multiple conditions that limit you in different ways or as a combination of conditions that as a whole prevent you reliably completing the activity.

For each activity make a list of the problems you have with it and the underlying causes and then using the methodology suggest in the PIP Claim guide document why you can't complete it.

So as some examples;

You might say that Reading is limited due to your sight problems and Communicating due to your hearing ones, perhaps Preparing Food is impossible because you can't see what you are doing but also because of your Fibromyalgia you can stand in the kitchen.
