When your filling in the how your disability affects you citizens advice website is very helpful in the how to fill in your claim form

Best thing I did was go to the citizens advice. They help to fill it in and they will help to fight it if it comes bad has a bad outcome

I got told by citizens advice and my therapists while applying that I need to pretend it's a bad day every day it they won't listen doesn't sound as nice as the other replies here 😅 but that's what I was told to do

i’ve been told that as well to use my worst as my baseline 💕

I'm trying to get pip too. I am getting drs letters, hospital letters, and citizens advice to fill it in. Apparently pretend it's a bad day. Good luck xx

I have applied twice but I didn't get enough points. It doesn't matter the conditions or pain I am in. Literally they said I can't get it because I can walk and I can manage my finances.

Write it as it is your absolute WORST CASE DAY regardless of if it is or isn't. Get evidence of everything including letters to back it up and make sure if you are not sure ask for help from an advocate
