5 Ways to Get Your FULL PIP Assessment Points (These work)

Your PIP assessment doesn't have to be scary — but most people walk in unprepared and lose points they should have got. If you're wondering how to prepare for a PIP assessment, what PIP assessors actually look for, or why saying "yes" to simple questions costs you points — this video gives you five practical tips that will help you present your case properly. The Personal Independence Payment (PIP) assessment scores how your condition affects specific daily living activities and mobility. It tests whether you can do tasks safely, repeatedly, and reliably — not whether you can manage them once on a good day. Most claimants lose points by describing their best days instead of their worst, giving short answers, and forgetting to bring supporting evidence. With over 25 years of experience supporting people on financial and welfare issues — including senior roles at PwC, EY, Aon, Willis Towers Watson, and KPMG — I've seen how proper preparation transforms PIP assessment outcomes. Whether you're completing your PIP 2 form, gathering medical evidence and consultant letters, or deciding whether to bring a companion to your face-to-face assessment, this video walks you through exactly what to do and what to avoid. IN THIS VIDEO Why describing your worst days matters more than showing how well you cope How short yes or no answers score zero points and what to say instead Why taking a companion to your assessment can make a real difference What evidence to bring — PIP 2 form, medical letters, prescription lists, care plans, and diaries How to explain task duration and the after-effects that assessors need to hear about Download our free retirement checklist: https://financialeducation.co.uk/reti... KEY TAKEAWAYS Always describe your worst or average days, never your best — the assessor needs the honest picture Never answer just yes or no — explain what happens when you try, how long it takes, and what it costs you afterwards Take someone who knows your condition into the assessment room — they can remind you of things you forget under stress Bring your completed PIP 2 form, medical evidence, prescription lists, and any diary you keep about your condition The scoring tests whether you can do tasks safely, repeatedly, and reliably — not whether you can just about manage once You can claim back travel costs to the assessment centre — don't forget RESOURCES Citizens Advice PIP guidance: https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/ben...
