Are there Missing guides?

Hi there,

Ive logged on to this wonderful resource to access the members guides again as my PIP has come up for renewal.I have re-subscribed for member access.

Im convinced there was a guide dedicated to filling out the descriptors for mental health specifically.It went through every question and importanty gave many examples specifically related to answering for mental health.

All i can find is the guide to the full process for all health conditions. Which doesnt have the help i need and has lots of information i dont need which is difficult for me to process
Sort wheat from chaff etc.

ive reviewed my last PIP form and im pretty sure i woudnt have been able to answer those questions in such a way tthat hit the points i did without a dedicated guide.

Am i going potty? if not where can i access this again.
Theis site's have ensured i have recieved my pip in two assesments and the right level of suppport of ESA but im pretty nevry about this review now.

many thanks, in advance

Hi Id

I think you may be confusing the ESA guides and the PIP guides.

In the old ESA guide, mental health was separated from physical difficulties. The two have now been combined.

There has only ever been one guide for PIP. Mental health couldn't be separated because the questions for PIP are not set out in the way the ESA questions were. Your mental health might have an impact on every one of the PIP questions.

You have your old PIP form as a guide. If you look at page 101 - 108 of the current PIP guide it will tell you how to fill out the form. That's only 7 pages - so hopefully not as daunting.
