How to fill in the PIP form - a video guide

Produced by Joshua Ting, Holly Girven and Joe Timmins at the Law School, University of Warwick in partnership with Central England Law Centre, and Coventry Independent Advice Service.

See also our clear explanation of the PIP points system and what you will need to show so that you get the right amount of benefit if you have a health condition or disability.

If you get turned down for PIP or do not get the award you thought you were entitled to, please ask for a mandatory reconsideration. The DWP make the wrong decision all the time. We want more people to get the help they are entitled to - that is why we made a PIP mandatory reconsideration tool that sets out your case for you.

Claimants who have used our PIP MR tool are considerably more likely to get the decision changed at the earliest stage than those who haven't.

Good advice about the form. I wouldn't normally choose to watch a video about this type of thing. I am re-applying on behalf of my son as I also go through the appeal process. I need all the advice I can get, and I found it a lot more helpful than I expected. I agree the background music could be a little distracting. There are some very useful tips, it's about the right pace and not at all confusing.
