PIP descriptors are statements used to assess how your health condition or disability affects specific daily living and mobility activities. Each descriptor has a points value, and the Department for Work and Pensions considers the points that best reflect your difficulties, including whether you can complete an activity safely, repeatedly, to an acceptable standard and within a reasonable time. Your total points are used to decide whether you meet the relevant threshold for the daily living or mobility component, but an award is not guaranteed. Read the current guidance on GOV.UK and explain how your difficulties affect you on most days, with supporting evidence where available.
