Hi i am in the process of filling in my sons PIP form. he is 16 and changing from DLA. I am his appointee. He has learning difficulties, cerebral palsy, epilepsy and brain injury. How do I fill the form out wording it through his eyes like ( I have problems cutting food ) or do i write it as his mam ( Daniel has issues with cutting his food because )
It is entirely your choice whether you choose to say 'I cannot prepare food' or 'he cannot prepare food,' and there is no right or wrong answer.
Personally, when I fill in forms for other people I always say he or she cannot prepare food as I want to also make it clear they do not have the capacity to fill the forms themselves.
