Question About PIP Dressing and Undressing

Just to slightly muddy the water on the loose clothing bit. Gary is right that you don’t get points just for wearing loose clothing. But if the reason you are wearing them is because you cannot manage other clothing then you may get points on the basis that you need help to wear your clothing of choice. (And remember PIP is about the help you need, not the help you get.)

I know a lady who has arthritis in her hands. She is unable to wear trousers with a fastening and zip since she cannot manage these when she needs to use the toilet. She therefore wears loose fitting (maternity) trousers. She gets points because she needs help putting on, and taking off, her trousers, even though for obvious reasons she actually prefers to be independent and wear loose fitting ones which she can manage unaided.
