It would come under Managing Treatments but you will need to show that you need supervision, prompting or assistance from someone else in order to complete the muscle stretches, if you are able to do them on your own then you will not score.

See our PIP Claim guide for more detail.

Yes, it would be 15 x 3 x 7.

But you must establish that you cannot perform the treatment without your carer, it is is not enough to just say that they do it.
