We do ask members not to post in others topics, so I have moved your post it's own one, please make any further posts by reply to this topic.

I would start by having a look at our PIP Claim guide on the following link

www.benefitsandwork.co.uk/help-for-claimants/pip

this will take you through the initial call to the DWP to make a claim for PIP and then how to complete the PIP2 form that you will then receive.

It's important that you understand that PIP is assessed differently from DLA, you will need to get your head around each of the PIP activities and what you need to do to score points.

In particular, have a good read of the section that covers the use of "reliably" and "for the majority of days" as they will help you to meet the criteria.

If you have questions then please reply to this post and we will do our best to help.
