If you say you have dogs, without providing any other information, the assessor may assume that you walk them on a regular basis and therefore have no mobility problems.

If someone lives with you then they may be providing care for you.

In case you are not aware, your real name appears to be showing in the forum, if you want to change this then follow the instructions in the following FAQ

My full name is showing, how can I stop it?

If someone lives with you, you could have argued that they look after the dogs. If you live alone then the assumption is that you feed, groom and walk them without help.

Hi Julie,

You can find full details on PIP in the forum guides HERE or in the Spotlights area of the forum HERE

I hope this is of some assistance to you. If not, please post again and I or one of the other moderators will do our best to advise you.

Kind regards

Jim Allison
