Support summary

PIP functional impact organiser: private preparation notes

This private organiser helps you record your own examples across the 12 PIP activity areas. It is not a PIP test, points calculator, evidence generator, or application form. Nothing you type is saved or sent to NeuroType. Use it alongside current official guidance and qualified advice, not instead of them.

What this can help with

Understanding the official route and organising your own factual examples before you seek qualified help.

What this cannot do

Check eligibility, calculate points, predict a decision, or turn a NeuroType result into medical or benefits evidence.

Jurisdiction

Designed around the PIP activities used in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland. Scotland uses Adult Disability Payment.

Official routes

Check the current rules and apply through the official service

Use this as preparation, not a decision

  • Check current eligibility and application rules on the linked official service.
  • Record factual examples from your own life rather than copying model answers.
  • Ask a qualified welfare-rights adviser about your circumstances.
  • Do not submit a NeuroType score or report as medical or benefits evidence.

What the organiser does

The organiser provides one notes box for each daily living and mobility activity listed in the official PIP assessment guide. You choose which areas are relevant and write examples in your own words. It does not suggest descriptors or decide whether a difficulty meets a legal test.

The questions encourage factual detail: what happened, what help was used, how often it happens, how long it takes, whether it is safe, whether it can be repeated, and what happens afterwards. These are preparation prompts, not a formula for an award.

Notes stay in this browser tab

The organiser uses temporary component memory only. It does not use localStorage or sessionStorage, send a network request, place notes in the page address, or include the text in analytics. Reloading or closing the page clears the notes.

If you print or save a PDF through the browser, the resulting copy may contain sensitive personal information. Review the print preview and store or dispose of it safely.

How to record a useful factual example

Start with a real, recent event. Describe the activity, what you tried, any aid, prompting, supervision, or assistance, how long it took, what went wrong or became unsafe, and the effect afterwards. Say how often similar events occur and whether your experience varies.

Avoid copying someone else's answer. Another person's wording may not describe your circumstances and can hide important differences. An adviser can help you understand the form and official criteria without replacing your account of what happens.

What not to enter

Do not treat a NeuroType score as a diagnosis or professional opinion. Do not enter payment details, passwords, claim references, National Insurance numbers, medical-record identifiers, or other account credentials. NeuroType does not need them.

This organiser cannot tell you whether to claim, what rate may apply, whether evidence is sufficient, or how a decision-maker will interpret a situation. Use the official service and welfare-rights advice for those questions.

Private functional-impact organiser

Record your own examples without sending them anywhere

Choose only areas relevant to you. For each one, describe a recent example: what happened, help or prompting needed, time taken, safety, repeatability, frequency, and after-effects. Notes stay in this browser tab and clear when you reload or close it.

This is not a PIP test or points calculator. It does not assess eligibility or create evidence. Use official guidance or a qualified welfare-rights adviser for your circumstances.

Questions readers ask

Does this PIP organiser calculate points?
No. It deliberately contains no descriptors, point values, eligibility score, or award prediction.
Are my PIP notes saved?
No. Notes remain only in the current browser tab and clear when the page reloads or closes. NeuroType does not receive or analyse them.
Can I submit the organiser as evidence?
