Pips 2 form- answer length was created by MiriamC
Hi, I've just become a member to gain access to the pips 2 form guide.
I am a mum to a 16 year old son who is transferring from DLA to pips. He has epilepsy and I've been drafting my answers for some weeks using the epilepsy society's pips guide.
I notice in the guide from this site the examples are quite short. The answers I have are quite a few A4 pages worth of writing each question.
The advice was details , details details and don't be afraid to repeat yourself through the form .
Is this too much? Meaning are my answers too long?
I am quite anxious about the getting pips for my 16 year old and I want to make sure I'm doing it correctly as the odds of getting pips for epilepsy are low. 5 out of 7 people transferring from DLA to pips with epilepsy get refused.
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Miriam.

They are just examples so do not worry because they are so short but it is worth you going back through your answer to see is you can condense them, I used to write documents when I worked and could usually remove a third of the content originally written when doing a second draft.
Also, consider how you have presented the information. Short paragraphs are easier to read than long ones, also, add some sort of reference to each one so that it is easy to find the content from one activity to another, the same for any evidence that you have attached. Lastly, add an index or table of contents.
