PIP - Mixing with other people / Going out was created by Gopherd02
Hello all,
As I've mentioned, I have received my brown envelope as my PIP award is being reviewed. I'm making my way through the form and should have it done in time for their deadline of 7 August.
With regards to questions 11 and 13 (mixing with other people and going out, respectively) can anybody provide me with some additional guidance?
I'm now using my notes to type up my full answer for question 11 but I've noticed that lots of information for question 11 could also overlap or repeat information relevant to question 13 (mixing with other people) because a lot of going out involved mixing with other people.
Can anyone tell me if its worth repeating myself if I'm making statements that I've previously made in other questions. For clarity one statement from the B&W guide which I think could apply to both are: "I virtually never go to new places and would not attend a social event under any circumstances".
I suppose what I'm asking is what's the biggest different between the two activities, what should go where and should I repeat something I've already written if I think it's relevant?
Thank you all

Nothing on this board constitutes legal advice - always consult a professional about specific problems

The assessor and DM will treat each activity separately, you cannot assume that they will make the link between the problems you have one with activity and similar issues with another, so it is perfectly acceptable to repeat your self on the claim form.
Question 11 is in regard Daily Living whereas Question 13 is for Mobility.
