Choose the statements that apply to you Select any story that feels true for you. The bars show how much of this guide you have picked for daily living and mobility on an illustrative 0 to 12 scale (so coverage lines up with rough rate bands). Those are not DWP activity points. The money figures use published weekly rates as examples only, not a final award.
I cannot leave the house unless someone encourages or reassures me first. I can leave home, but I cannot manage the route alone if something changes or I panic. I need someone to calm me before I can deal with people face to face. Face-to-face situations can make me so distressed that I cannot function. When my anxiety is bad, I need prompting before I can prepare food. When I am very anxious, I need reminding or encouragement to eat. I need prompting to wash, dress, or get ready when anxiety makes me shut down. I avoid bills and decisions until someone helps me work through them. Your guide level and illustrative amounts The weekly amounts below use published PIP rates as examples only . They line up with how far you are on this guide's band, not with DWP activity points or any real award.
