New PIP Assessors Guide From Sept 1st

September 2, 2016

With many thank to Gail Ward for sharing this on Facebook:

New PIP Assessors Guide From Sept 1st

Only major changes are Activities 4 and 5.

Activity 4 – need to consider both a bath and a shower and more people will score as you need to be able to access a bath even if you don’t have one.

Activity 5 – back to previous guidance – stomas, catheters and pads are aids and will attract 5B even if the claimant can use them independently.

    when is the walk 1 metre in pain and any further walking will automaticley put you into the higher mobility range because if your in pain trying to walk ,your not going to walk any distance?
