What evidence helps a PIP claim?

The strongest PIP evidence comes from GPs, consultants, and support workers who can describe how your condition affects daily activities. Medical reports, care plans, prescription lists, and therapy notes are all valuable.

Do I need a GP letter for PIP?

A GP letter is not legally required but is strongly recommended. GP evidence that describes how your condition affects daily living and mobility activities can significantly strengthen your claim.

How do I ask my GP for PIP evidence?

Use a structured evidence request letter that asks your GP to comment on specific PIP activities. Our evidence builder generates these letters automatically based on your condition.
