I have just finished the torturous PIP assessment form. My Don who had head injuries 20 years ago has little Insight into his problems, very little patience etc., I have filled the form in using the third person "son (name") needs support to communicate etc, I have discussed each page with him - it was a little of the "yes, yes ok" scenario (he will probably forget by next week) it was VERY difficult as he is reluctant to accept problems because of lack of insight through his head injures. He has signed the form and I will send a covering letter. PLEASE tell me this is acceptable to the DWP. Someone told me it should have been filled in using the first person It has to be sent on Monday!!
Hi CAW Please do not be concerned. I filled in my husband's form using the third person and there was no problem at all in him receiving the award. I too attached a covering letter along with the evidence. They knew he could not fill it in himself. (I've also done it for others in that way and there has never been an issue).
