Help in answering pip questions was created by joolz
Hi all
I have just been placed into ESA support group and have been advised by my doctor to claim PIP. I suffer with chronic cluster headaches (up to 15 a day) I have to use oxygen and can no longer go out alone and although I can cook / clean and look after myself in between episodes I am very limited because the attacks vary between 15 mins and 2 hours. They can render me unconscious at their worst and it takes me some time to come round properly. My issue is that I am able to function perfectly well some days and I'm not sure how to translate this properly with the multiple choice questions ? Could anyone advise please ?

I would start by having a read of our PIP Claim guide and in particular the section of completing the PIP activities "reliably". Also, you must be able to reliably complete the PIP activities on "the majority of days not to score points.
