PIP: What should be in my support letter

At the moment I’m drafting a letter of support for my GF who is preparing to complete her PIP 2 Form. She has bipolar

What to say, that’s what I’m wondering about. She has been sectioned three times over this past number of years, on two of these occasions she had to be physically restrained by police. On one occasion it took four policeman and a policewoman! She has been evicted once because of the way she had her house in and was almost evicted from her second except some good friends interceded with the landlord

On the depressive side I have described how she keeps her house, what her diet is like and how she dresses and cares for herself. (Pretty poor). I’ve also described the help and support I offer

I’ve drafted a letter and it is quit long about one and three quarter pages. That’s going into detail about the sectioning, the evection and how she is now.

A lot of the information seems to speak to the descriptors. Is more less. Or as I’m the one who know her best should I go into detail about her

Some generalised comments about her medical history will be helpful especially if she has been hospitalised but otherwise stick to commenting on the problems she has with completing the PIP activities, to help her score the points needed for an award.
