The difference detail makes
An invented example. The helper wrote it from invented answers.
“I struggle with washing but I manage.”
True, but it doesn't say what happens, how often, or what help is needed.
Two weeks ago my legs gave way in the shower and I couldn't get up for ten minutes. I find getting in or out of the bath or shower, washing my hair and washing my back hard. I use a shower seat or bath board. I need someone to be with me in case something goes wrong. This happens on most days (4 to 7 days a week). I can't do it again the same day without resting. It isn't always safe for me to do this on my own.

Each answer is ready to paste into the PIP2 form, online or on paper.
Three ways to start
There are three ways to start a PIP claim:
- Ring 0800 917 2222.
- Write to Freepost DWP PIP 1 asking to claim PIP. Include your name and address.
- In some parts of England, you can claim fully online.
The PIP2 form comes on paper, or as a link to fill it in online after a phone claim. Send it back within 1 month. Send the PIP2 back in the return envelope that comes with it, with the address showing in the window. No stamp is needed. If you need more time, ring the PIP enquiry line on 0800 121 4433 before the deadline.

Questions people ask
Is this an official DWP or GOV.UK site?
No. We're independent – not DWP, the NHS or GOV.UK. We build your form wording from what you tell us, and never promise an outcome or claim to speak for DWP.
How many points do I need for PIP?
PIP has two parts, daily living and mobility, scored separately against set descriptors, each with two possible rates. Our free points checker walks through this and shows roughly where your answers might land, without asking for any details.
Is my information stored anywhere?
No. Your answers stay in your browser on your own device. Nothing is sent to a server, and there's nothing for us to store or lose.
What if I've already been refused?
Use the "Been refused?" door. It builds a mandatory reconsideration letter from what the decision said and why it's wrong – free to start, same as a new claim.
What if my award is being reviewed?
Use the "My award is being reviewed" door. A review is a normal check, not a threat – it asks what's changed for each activity since your last assessment, and says it honestly: the same, worse, better, or different from day to day.
Does it cost anything?
Starting, answering every question, and the free call card cost nothing. You only pay if you want the finished pack: one fee, shown before you pay, with a 14-day money-back guarantee. If you're refused, the reconsideration pack is included.
Need another language?
Use your browser's translate button. Your drafts stay in English for the form.
