PIP guides
Plain-English guides to the PIP form, evidence, assessments and what to do if you're refused. Not part of DWP, the NHS or GOV.UK.
Six free guides cover the PIP form and what happens after you send it, each written in plain English and checked against GOV.UK. Start with the descriptors guide if you want to understand how PIP scores answers before you begin - it is the one page on this site that shows the official points behind each activity. When you are ready to fill in the form itself, the question-by-question guide and the worked example answers show what a strong answer looks like, and the evidence guide covers what to send alongside it. If DWP asks you to an assessment, that guide explains what to expect and how to prepare. And if a claim is refused, the mandatory reconsideration guide covers the one-month deadline and what a good challenge sets out. Every guide links to the free helper, which turns your own answers into the wording the form needs.
