@jamesmerrellofficial1: 🎯 Why Not Going Out Might Hurt Your PIP Claim (Even If You Struggle) PIP (Personal Independence Payment) isn’t just about whether you can do something—it’s about whether you can do it safely, reliably, repeatedly, and in a reasonable time. If you don’t go out on most days, the DWP may decide you’re not exposed to risk, so your difficulties are "mitigated"—which means you may not score enough points. To get 12 points on the mobility component (like for planning or following a journey), it’s important that you show how your condition affects you when you try—not just that you avoid doing it. Not going out might actually weaken your case, because you’re not demonstrating the actual impact and risk. 💡 If your condition means you can’t go out due to anxiety, sensory overload, or disorientation, explain how trying causes harm or distress. Don’t just say, “I don’t go out.” #pip #pipclaim #pipadvice #pipmobility #pipapplication #piphelp #pipassessment #pipform #pipdecision #disabilitybenefits #ukbenefits #pipjourney #pipexplained #pippoints #MentalHealthAwareness #disabilityrights #pipmobilitycomponent #planningajourney #pipreconsideration #pipappeal #pipdailyactivities #disabilityuk #pipformhelp #fibromyalgia #anxietyawareness #depressionawareness #autismacceptance #chronicpain #ptsdrecovery #bipolardisorder #agoraphobia #borderlinepersonalitydisorder #mentalillnessrecovery #socialanxiety #cptsd #epilepsyawareness #schizoaffective #chronicillnesswarrior #invisibleillness #neurologicaldisorder #braintumorawareness #ocdawareness #panicdisorder #vertigoawareness #migraines #sensoryprocessingdisorder #cognitiveimpairment #mobilityissues #ehlersdanlossyndrome #meawareness #mecfs #longcovidawareness #arthritisawareness #chronicfatigue #neuropathy #dyspraxiaawareness #spooniecommunity #disabledandproud #mentalhealthmatters #disabilityawareness #disabledcreators #pipfacts #pipuk #piprules #pipconditions #mobilitysupport #pipclaimtips #pipprocess #pipguidance #pipadviceuk #dwpawareness #fyp

A psychiatrist would say that medications don't work for some people. Not being on meds for mental health does not mean they can still manage.
Meds for some make their mental illness worse.Some people have treatment resistant dedepression .And still under the care of mental health with other surport in place .
This is why doctors should be carring out pip assessments.

I only go out if someone comes with me. I have mental health and have had it since a very young age. My anxiety gets worse if I'm around people

I go out semi often and managed to get almost max points on mobility. it's not about if you can go out it's about how much support you need when you need to go out. I need support to even step outside but I still am out often.

The whole thing is exhausting, like medical evidence should be enough but no you have to jump through hoops and make sure you are saying the correct trigger words! 😩

I’m a paraplegic wheelchair user. I only got lower rate mobility for the first two years. I was told this was standard and no one gets higher rate immediately 😳

last time I went out on my own a few weeks ago , I fell in the middle of road and cracked my skull and ruined my hip again , I have no one , I have to take risks sometimes but always depend on the kindness of strangers or end up in an ambulance on the way to hospital 😞

We get stuck because it says to provide evidence that we don't get out, but what can be evidence?

I’m so happy that companies like yours exist to help people with the complexities of claiming PIP! I’m about to graduate uni next month (Law) and this is the type of work I would love to do. Thank you so much for the hard work you do!

My caree will not go out unless I'm there. We have to plan a journey and work out detours if we know of roadworks. They went from basic allowance to enhanced and a year's back pay on their renewal. This was a huge relief. 👍
