Your best bet would be to ask someone on your mental health home treatment team to help or arrange for someone to help you.

If I was you ask your mental health. Team if they can get you a letter to verify to your claims it should help aswell

Hi, if you have HTT currently they are a short term team and will plan with you what your long term care is. They should be able to put you in contact with the local mental health advocate team who will fill the form in for you after a chat to see what your symptoms and medication are. You should be given a copy of your care plan from HTT and that will have all the information needed, so send a copy with the form.

PIP is based on symptoms not diagnosis so you may not get any increase in money just so you're aware.

Good luck x
