Can anyone help plz

We recommend a formulaic approach to answering the questions.

1. What is the health condition and what are the symptoms that cause you problems with standing and then moving around? For example, multiple sclerosis or CFS/ME.

2. Describe the problems you have, giving details, including the distance you can walk.

3. If you use any aids or appliances, list them and explain why you use them.

4. If you need physical help, supervision or prompting, whether you actually get it or not, explain what you need and why you need it, including if you need help when using aids or appliances.

5. Say when during the day or night you have problems. For example, is it all the time, mostly in the morning or just in the evening?

6. If your condition varies, from day to day or week to week, try to explain how much it varies and what problems you have when you are at your best, worst and average.

I am afraid we cannot fill in the form for you but we can help you understand the PIP criteria if you are having problems doing so.

What are you problems with mobility and how do they effect you?
