Hello Girlfriinho,
You are right, PIP is about the help you need whether or not you get it.
However the help which you score points for is the help that you need from a person being there to help you do some of but not all of it....
So to score points you must need to have help from someone with you, even if you are not actually getting help from someone with you.
I do hope that makes sense!
Catherine.
