Personal Independence Payment (PIP) guide

Record how you manage your finances. If you cannot manage your finances on your own, say so and state who helps you.

You should also think about the following when filling in the form:

• can you manage your money or does somebody have to assist you with your spending due to an illness or disability?                                   
• can you plan how you spend your money and are you able to budget for your rent, bills and shopping without help?
• can you work out the costs of goods and services and know how much you will have left over?
• what happens if you do not receive help? Do you get into arrears or are bills left unpaid?
