What to do if the impact of your condition has changed since your last PIP assessment – When claiming PIP, you must report specific changes in your health to the DWP. For example, a change could be:
- If your condition or the relevant symptoms have improved or worsened
- If you’ve stopped or started taking any medication
If a change in your situation has impacted your life since the last assessment you need to explain the following in your PIP review:
- What happened to cause the change
- When it happened
- How it made things easier or harder for you (detailing what help, if any, you still need)
How do you fill in a PIP form?
PIP form tips and help – In addition to specific PIP form question tips, we have listed a few general tips for filling in the PIP form:
- Always use the ‘extra information’ boxes to explain exactly how your illness affects you.
- Don’t feel you have to fit your answer into the box provided. You can use the space at the end of the form or extra sheets of paper if you need to.
- If you use extra paper, add your name and National Insurance number and staple it to the form securely.
- Try to give clear, short explanations and examples that are relevant to the activity.
- You do not have to get treatment or support to meet the criteria for PIP. If you don’t get all the support you need, think about how your life could be improved if someone could encourage, help or prompt you with the activity.
- Think about how you can do each activity.a. Safely: Can you do the activity without causing danger to yourself or someone else? b. Well enough: For example, you may be able to make a meal, but you will not be able to eat it if it is undercooked.c. More than once: Can you repeat the activity as many times as you need to? d. In a reasonable time: Does it take you longer to do the activity than it would take most people? Think about the help you could use to reliably manage an activity when you are at your worst point on a typical day. Include as much detail as possible.
- To qualify for PIP, you need to show that you need help with the activities on more than half the days in a year. Make it clear on the form how often you have problems with the activities.
- If your health changes, explain how often this happens and the effect it has on you. It may help to keep a diary.
Can you get PIP for anxiety?
You might be able to get Personal Independence Payment (PIP) if you need extra help because of an illness, disability or mental health condition. You can make a PIP claim whether or not you get help from anyone. You don’t need to have worked or paid National Insurance to qualify for PIP, and it doesn’t matter what your income is, if you have any savings or you’re working.
How long does PIP review decision take?
As of October 2022, it takes the DWP 16 weeks to decide a new PIP claim.
What does 12 points mean on PIP?
You need 8 points to get the standard rate of the daily living component, or 12 points for the enhanced rate. You also need 8 points for the standard rate of the mobility component and 12 points for the enhanced rate.
What questions will they ask on PIP assessment?
Location – Think about where the assessment is to take place, assuming that it is at one of their centres, and how you will get there. Walking ability will be part of many people’s claims and it is absolutely no use explaining that you had no choice but to walk the 200 metres or whatever from the bus station or the car park.
- Telling them how long it took you will not help either, and even saying how many times you had to stop is little better.
- It is better if you can be dropped off as near as possible to the assessment centre by the taxi, or by your friend before they go off to park.
- Should you record the assessment, whether it takes place at your home or an assessment centre? I would say yes, if you can.
You will need to let them know as early in the process as possible if you decide to do this; do not just turn up with your recording equipment or wait until you have a date for the assessment. The assessor is not being difficult when they say that you have to be able to leave a copy of the recording with them, at the end of the assessment, it is in the PIP regulations.
Consider taking two cassette recorders with you as these will do the job. Please do not ask the assessor what their qualifications are or whether they are qualified to assess the impact of your particular medical problem. Many people have reported that this seems to annoy the assessor and it is likely to get you off to a bad start.
Remember that they are not there to treat or diagnose you, they are supposed to be trained disability analysts and are there to assess the impact of your medical conditions on the activities included in the PIP test. I dread to think how many DLA, PIP, incapacity benefit, attendance allowance, ESA and UC forms I have helped with over my 21 years.
- Clients keep coming to me with medical conditions that I have never heard of; earlier this week it was Sporadic Hemiplegic Migraine Syndrome and when this lady’s PIP form arrives, she and I will complete it over the phone.
- She is the expert on her condition and how it affects her, and I bring 21 years’ experience of knowing what to ask, what is and is not relevant, what the law says about the meaning of words and phrases, and what case law says that the test activities are there to look at.
This is not all that different to the role of the assessor, and in theory, their training ought to allow them to properly assess anyone. Let us look at the what you will be asked about when the assessment begins. After looking at your ID to make sure that you are who you say you are, they will ask about each of your medical conditions.
They will want to know how long you have had it, who diagnosed it, who manages it now, what the symptoms are and what variation there is in how it affects you. This question of variability is important; regulation 7 of the PIP regulations tells us that for PIP, the issue is how you are affected on at least of 50% of days.
Think about that, it means that someone who has two unbearable days in an average week, but who is vey much better on the other five days, has to be assessed on how they are and what they can do on their better days because they are in the majority. It is fine for you to explain to the assessor what you can do on your better days, but it is important that they are clear about how things are for you on the majority of days.
It is not unusual for a person’s ability to do things to vary within days, as well as between days. We could be talking about joint stiffness in the mornings, the after effects of frequent seizures or the wait before medication takes effect. The good news is that the PIP Assessment Guide tells assessors that if a point-scoring descriptor applies at any point in 24 hours, then it applies on that day, unless it is momentary.
The bad news is that I have never seen either an assessor or a Decision Maker apply that, even though there is Upper Tribunal case law that adopted that guidance, so that it is the law. I would still recommend that you explain this variation within days to the assessor, in the hope that they will at least note it, and it will be there to support what you later include in a tribunal appeal.
Can you fail a PIP assessment?
Missed the assessment – If you don’t go to the medical assessment, the DWP may refuse your claim unless you have a good reason for not going. If you miss your medical assessment, the DWP will contact you to ask you to give a reason. Tell them why you could not attend.
- If you have any documents to show why you could not attend, give the DWP a copy.
- If the DWP thinks you have a good reason, they will rearrange your medical assessment.
- If you miss your medical assessment and you don’t give a reason, or the DWP decides that you don’t have a good reason, they will refuse your claim.
If the DWP refuses your claim, you can challenge their decision or start again with a new claim (or you can do both). If you make a new claim, you will need to fill in another form. However, you can use your previous form as a guide for what to put. You can read more about challenging a PIP decision in our Challenging a Personal Independence Payment (PIP) decision guide,
Can you be denied PIP?
If you’ve missed the 1 month deadline – It’s still worth asking for a mandatory reconsideration, as long as it’s within 13 months of the decision. You’ll need to explain your reasons for being late – for example if being ill or dealing with difficult personal circumstances meant you couldn’t apply in time.
How likely is it to get accepted for PIP?
Success rates for PIP claims by condition The DWP record every successful PIP claim under one of over 500 different health conditions, depending on which one they think is your main source of points. The table below shows what percentage of claims for each condition are successful For comparison, the overall average success rate for PIP claims is 52%.
