Welcome to the forum, you might want to have a look at the following FAQ which explains where everything is
Welcome to Benefits and Work
Forget about your DLA award, PIP is a very different beast.
Break the work down into manageable units.
Make sure you understand the criteria that you are being asked to meet and don't try and fit it to your problems, if there is any adaption needed then it has to be your limitations to the Descriptors.
Make sure you understand and apply "reliably" and "on the majority of days" to your answers wherever relevant. Both are explained in the guide.
If you are stuck then ask by replying to this post.
You can request a two-week extension if you need by phoning the number of the letter that accompanied the form.

Been working my way through each question and doing notes on each , I will do rough write ups next before I fill in actual form , trying to be systematic about the process . I have been in touch with my GP and he is very helpful and my condition assoc Welfare chap too . I just wish the language was a bit more plain English , who uses the word "descriptor " ????.

It's because they are legal definitions of the criteria you need to meet.
