Has anybody consolidated the PIP descriptors as recently amended in a single document and if so, could they please share?
I’m sure there will be a supplement soon enough but to tide you over, I attach what is hopefully a consolidated version of part one and a replacement for pages 2 and 6 of this desk aid to the descriptors (https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/Global/Migrated_Documents/adviceguide/pip-9-table-of-activities-descriptors-and-points.pdf)
Obviously presented “as is” and with apologies for the formatting.

All descriptors on one sheet of paper (provided you can print on both sides)

They’ve still not updated the Blue Books!

Anyone dealing with appeals will need access to both sets of descriptors for the next year or so.
Making sure to use the right set of descriptors for a given claim or appeal was a constant niggle with ESA when it changed in 2013.

Thank you very much - I knew I could count on Rightsnet to save me this job 😉

Definitions and descriptors squeezed onto one handy A4 sheet…I can’t take the credit….
