PIP Assessment Guidelines 2013

Not seen this posted here yet. I have shamelessly purloined it from another forum ...

 

PIP assesment guidlelines for the assesments are out http://www.dwp.gov.uk/docs/pip-assessment-guide.pdf

 

Reading it, there is a interesting example of someone who walks with a stick who can walk up to 100m. After 100m he needs to stop for a few hours. After that, he can only walk short steps of up to 20m. Under the descriptor, he is then classed as only being able to stand and walk no more then 20m, meaning he gets enhanced rate. This gives me a bit of hope that all is not lost regarding getting enhanced rate.

Indeed. That's 'refinement' for you ...
