Please can someone help with the pip review question treatments, therapies and surgery. What counts as a treatment or therapy? If you do your physio at home does that count? Thank you.

From our PIP Claim guide

“Therapy” means therapy to be undertaken at home which is prescribed or recommended by
a—
(a) registered –
(i) doctor;
(ii) nurse; or
(iii) pharmacist; or
(b) health professional regulated by the Health Professions Council,

but does not include taking or applying, or otherwise receiving or administering, medication (whether orally, topically or by any other means), or any action which falls within the definition of “monitor a health condition”.

So your physio will count providing you need supervision, prompting or assistance to be able to reliably complete it on the majority of days.
