pip substantial risk

gazzmg wrote: what does it mean by exhibit behaviour

i have angry outburst daily due to my mental health and i get agressive towards my family members but i am being discharged from my cmht for non compliance of not attending apointments due to my severe agoraphobia they dont know about this agressive behaviour but have on record that i attacked my father with a weapon,

i have voices telling me all sorts of things such as self harming but i only carried this out years ago when i cut my nose on a regular basis

would this be enough to show i get 8 points for this descriptor

Assessors are told that claimants will always exhibit behaviour that is consistent with their conditions, one example of this is that claimants with mental health problems will be unable to make continuous eye contact with the assessor. I'm not suggesting that their views are reasonable.

PIP does not specifically look at substantial risk as ESA does. You would need to look at each of the PIP activities to see whether your behaviour has impact on your carrying them out. As an example; do you get angry if you have problems preparing and cooking a meal, how would this exhibit itself?

You'll have to help us out, I don't know which PIP activity/descriptor that you are referring to?

If you do not feel that your medication is effective then you should speak to your GP about it.
