The One Rule That Changes Your PIP Score — Free Guide

Most people describe what they can do. "I manage." "I can do it with help." But PIP looks at whether you can do something reliably — safely, repeatedly, to an acceptable standard, and in a reasonable time — and that changes how your whole form is read.

This short guide covers:

- The reliability rule and what it actually means.

- The 4 tests every PIP activity is measured against.

- 3 before-and-after examples showing how to describe a task honestly and in full.

- Written for Northern Ireland (DfC, not DWP).

Information only, not legal or welfare-rights advice, and not a promise of any outcome. Free advice: Advice NI, Citizens Advice, or Law Centre NI. In crisis, contact Lifeline on 0808 808 8000 (free, 24 hours).
