Iv just got my how things might have changed Nothing has, but if i just tick all nothing has does that get looked on as bad? And how likely does it make a f2f still be nessasery? I hated that. I have my esa one next Monday so this stress is just bad enough. Plus my award was until sep 2018 so 3 yrs is basically 2. And also I got 13 points for daily living and 12 for mobility in 2015. Has Any of the points changed for any of the tasks that if say no change it no gets less?
Tnx

Ticking no change will not make you look bad on the form :)

There have been changes to the definition of therapy and to some of the Descriptors for the Going Out activity, the latest PIP Claim guide explains the changes and also has information about completing the AR1 form.

We haven't seen any consistent results where the AR1 form is used as to whether the claimant will require a face to face, even if ticking no change, some have received an invitation to an assessment and some have not.

Thank you.

For the going out section i got 12 points only for 20m the other question I got 0. Even tho when i go out I always need someone with me.
But my condition is extreme spinal damage (scaring, cysts, tethered), so it is extream pain 24/7 and need help with almost everything, as can't bend lift twist ect. I do live alone but have family come round to do the housework and help look after me.
I have a esa medical next week , and then this pip arrived 13 months earlier than my end date It's a joke saying 3 yrs but really it's 2.
