By ticking "it varies" you are saying that some of the time you can complete the activity and some of the time you cannot, to score you must be unable to do the activity for the majority of the time, this is different from PIP which is the majority of days.
So first of all, read the Descriptors to make sure you understand the criteria against which you are being assessed to make sure whether you can complete the tasks at least some of the time.
If you can complete all of the tasks at least some of the time then I would tick "it varies" but see below.
If you can complete some of the tasks some of the time but there are tasks that you can never complete then I would not, I would mark the tick box "see below" and answer in the comments box or attached pages.
Whatever you do you need to explain in detail how you are limited and for what period. Be aware you are more likely to score if you are limited for most of the time rather than just the majority of the time, realistically reporting you have problems 51% of the time is unlikely to score. If there are tasks that you can never do then state this first and separately from where you explain about tasks you sometimes can.
