Each activity is scored 0-12. You need 8+ points total across all activities for Standard rate PIP daily living; 12+ points for Enhanced rate. The Mobility component assesses 'planning and following a journey' and 'moving around'. PIP — What Counts as EvidenceStrong evidence significantly improves your chances. Include: letters from your GP, consultant or specialist; hospital discharge letters; medication lists; care plans; occupational therapist or physiotherapist reports; letters from social workers; and statements from carers or family members. The key is to describe your worst days — assessors need to understand how your condition affects you on a difficult day, not your best day. Many successful claimants seek help completing the PIP2 form from Citizens Advice or Scope. PIP and Other Benefits
Challenging a PIP DecisionIf you disagree with a PIP decision, first request a Mandatory Reconsideration — this is compulsory before you can appeal. Request it within 1 month of the decision. If the Mandatory Reconsideration doesn't change the decision, appeal to an independent tribunal. Statistics show that approximately 70% of PIP appeals that go to tribunal succeed. Always get support from Citizens Advice or a welfare rights adviser before appealing.
