Use our Personal Independence Payment (PIP) guidance to help you fill in your PIP claim form. There is advice for each question, including:
- what the questions mean
- what to write about in your answers
- examples of answers people might give
- help explaining how your illness or disability affects you
It’s ok to write your extra information on a separate sheet – use our template [ 0.78 kb].
Always attach this sheet to your claim form and include your name, National Insurance number and the question number.
It’s a good idea to keep a copy of your completed form. You can take it with you to your assessment and use it to make sure that you don’t forget anything you want to mention.
