just how many hours or minutes do you need each day to be eligible for p.i.p. care. i was turned down on d.l.a. a few years ago because it didn't meet an hour a day, even though i met the correct criteria for each question i failed on the time limit. is it still the same for p.i.p.

hi, i am filling in a p.i.p. claim and i am moving from d.l.a. the main problem i have is the mobility question. i currently receive the higher rate on d.l.a. my conditions vary greatly some days i can hardly walk to the bathroom from my bedroom which is next door, other days i can walk approx 25 mts in great pain or i would need to rest because of fatigue. if i put i can do the later my higher rate is gone, if i put i can walk up to 20 mts which is true on some days i get it. what can i do i don't want them saying i have put a fraudulent claim in if i say i can only walk up to 20mts.

This is not something that we deal with on the forum!
I have had a look at the TGM site and the criteria are not clearly defined there does not appear to be an automatic qualification based on either PIP or DLA that I can see. The following page has details of what criteria you need to meet.

All of the PIP activities must be completed reliably and on the majority of days not to score points, I would suggest you have a good read of the PIP Claim guide and in particular the sections that cover these two points, this should allow you to complete the PIP2 form.
