PIP2 form guide

Help with the DWP's "How your disability affects you" form, activity by activity. This is a guide you read: nothing is sent anywhere, and it is general information rather than legal advice.

What the guide covers

All 12 activities, and what each one is actually asking about
Worked examples, with a note on why each one works
Common mistakes and the questions worth asking yourself
The evidence that supports each activity
The four reliability tests: safely, to an acceptable standard, repeatedly, and in a reasonable time

Write only what is true for you.

Other free tools

PIP activity worksheet — work through the activities one at a time
Phone assessment practice — a mock call at your own pace
Evidence Pack Builder — request GP or specialist letters
