## Resource

Don’t downplay your struggles—your PIP claim hinges on how honestly you describe your daily challenges. With only a 43% success rate for new claims, many applicants fail because they focus on good days or brush off how their condition impacts routine tasks like cooking or traveling. The DWP wants to know if you can reliably, safely, and consistently manage these tasks—even on your worst days. Minimizing your difficulties might seem like a coping mechanism, but it can cost you crucial points and even a denial. Use real-life examples, be specific, and consider seeking help from Citizens Advice or local disability groups to ensure your application truly reflects your lived experience.
