Best Practice in Completing the PIP Questionnaire, 28 & 29 February 2024 ONLINE

This one-day course, held over two consecutive mornings, summarises how the PIP claim process or ‘journey’ works and the importance of the PIP2 questionnaire.

It looks at what makes a good PIP claim, and also at the limitations of the PIP2 questionnaire. We look how it can be optimised using the regulations, guidance and case law.

The course covers:

• Summary: the legal basis of PIP entitlement
• How points flow from PIP ‘activities’ and ‘descriptors’
• The role of the PIP2 questionnaire to generate information
• How PIP2 matches up or fails to match up to PIP ‘descriptors’
• How a defective questionnaire response can cause trouble
• How to use PIP regulations 7 and 4(2A) to assist in making good claims
• How PIP case law provides very useful guidance to advisers
• How to improve on the standard PIP2 form
• How to complete the questionnaire with an eye to tribunal judge scrutiny, if an appeal becomes necessary
