FIRST PIP CLAIM was created by Doodles
I am filling in my PIP form. My husband had a heart attack in November which has left him with heart failure with a very low EF. In the mobility question he can walk 200 metres but does get breathless. Should I tick 200 metres or more. Also if it is at end of day he would be very tired and breathless but could walk the distance. Noy sure what to tick.

Forgive but you say you are filling in your PIP form but then refer to your husband, which is it?

The requirement is the distance that the claimant can reliably walk on the majority of days.

The term "reliably" is explained in our PIP Claim guide.
