New AR1 form was created by gaz111
I’ve just received the new pip AR1 review form and it asks the question ‘ someone helping you fill in this form?’ My question is - Are they asking this with a view that if you filled it in yourself and you have severe mental health problems? It will count against you because you’ve completed it and wrote a lot of additional information.?

Thanks

Hi gaz111

Plenty of people with multiple disabilities fill in their own forms and are successfully awarded PIP. I don't think most assessors spend much time considering who completed the form.

There can be red flags for assessors, such as if someone fills in the form with lots of additional information and then claims they have problems forming a complex sentence. Having severe mental health problems won't necessarily prevent someone from completing a form.

I would try not to worry about it.
