Hi! I don't know if this helps I am a bd patient but I also have a son with learning disabilities who is now having pip . He was having dla but has now reached 16 so it changed to pip! I had to reapply again for everything which is quite daunting! I have been really lucky and he has been awarded enhanced mobility and personal care! I had an information booklet which was really helpful and even though it was aimed at children with learning disabilities it gave me an idea of what the assessor are looking for and guidelines on how to complete the form which I tried to follow when I filled it in! I have it online and have tried to copy the link for you but am not that clever!! If you message me your email I could email the booklet to you if that would help? Lots of hugs jo x
