Most rejected PIP claims fail not because the person doesn't qualify, but because they don't describe their difficulties in the language assessors score against. PIPexpert is built to fix that.

Three simple steps to a stronger, more confident PIP claim.
Enter your diagnoses and briefly describe how they affect your day-to-day life.
Our system analyses all 12 PIP activities against your specific conditions.
Use your report to complete PIP2 and attend your assessment knowing nothing is left out.
See a real sample of our Done For You package - fully written PIP2 answer + assessment prep - personalised to your condition. No signup, no payment.
List every condition, not just the main one. More than half the people who use this list two or more, and each answer is written around the combined effect rather than one diagnosis at a time.
Analysis based on your conditions, and a complete PIP2 answer you can copy straight onto the form. For all 12 PIP activities.
This is what every one of the 12 PIP activities looks like in your full report.
This is what a typical PIP2 answer looks like, and this is what PIPexpert writes for you. The difference = points. Points = your PIP award.
"Sometimes I have problems making food. My back hurts so I can't stand for long. My wife helps me sometimes."
"I cannot reliably prepare a simple meal safely, repeatedly, to an acceptable standard. On most days chronic back pain prevents me standing for more than 5 minutes. I require my wife to prepare hot food 4-5 days per week. I have dropped pans twice in the last 3 months, including burning my hand on 14/02/2026."
Example for illustration only. Actual points depend on assessor evaluation, your specific medical evidence, and full claim context. PIPexpert provides personalised guidance, not a guaranteed award.
PIP is worth up to £10,119 a year. The right wording on your form is what unlocks it, and every option below costs a fraction of a single year's payment.
If your PIP claim was refused or scored too low, you can ask the DWP to look again, and appeal if that fails. About 1 in 4 Mandatory Reconsiderations change the decision. Around two thirds of PIP appeals decided at a tribunal hearing are won by the claimant.
What you need: your conditions and, for the point-by-point challenge, your decision letter or assessment report to hand. Without the letter you still get everything else. What you get: for every activity you contest, what the DWP relied on, the descriptor you are arguing for, why the one they gave is wrong and a ready-to-paste paragraph of grounds; everything is generated from what you enter, shown on screen and emailed to you, and the templates are marked where you add your own details. Guidance only, not legal advice, and no service can promise an award.
The form is only half the battle - most claims are decided on the assessment call. Get the questions assessors actually ask for your conditions, model spoken answers, the traps to avoid, and a printable cheat card. Phone, video and face-to-face covered.
Works for first claims and award reviews alike
