I am trying to complete the PIP Award review and I'm stump on how to improve my orinnal score from 1 which I felt was low I Have secondary breast cancer in the bones, I have had a mastectomy and I am very stiff in my upper Body and need to have cream apples by my husband twice a day for 15minutues each time to manipulate and combat the stiffness in my joints and bones. The stiffness has become worse and I've had to change my medication from Letrozole to tamoxifen as I ve reach the 5 year period and my oncologist said the medication is no longer effective . Do you think I should put this case to them ?

I'm afraid you are going to struggle to score higher for this, what you describe is the application of a medication and not a therapy, this being the case you cannot score more than one point for this activity.

The definitions are in the PIP Claim guide, bottom of page 31 and top of 32.
