“I just got refused. Zero points. I know I should challenge it but I don’t know where I went wrong.”
This guide covers DWP PIP in England and Wales only.
Scotland now uses Adult Disability Payment (ADP) under Social Security Scotland — different forms, different rules, different descriptors. Northern Ireland uses PIP but administered by DfC, not DWP, with its own processes.
The wording patterns, assessment criteria, and mandatory reconsideration process in this guide are specific to the DWP system. If you live in Scotland or Northern Ireland, this is not written for your claim.
You’ve never filled in a PIP2 form before and you want to get it right first time, without accidentally underselling your difficulties.

No. Scotland now uses ADP (Adult Disability Payment) with different rules. Northern Ireland uses PIP but under DfC, not DWP. This guide covers England and Wales only — the forms, descriptors, and challenge process are specific to DWP.
