Diagnosis or condition letters
Letters that name or explain a diagnosis or health condition.
Documents guide
See examples of documents you may want to gather elsewhere if you already have them.
You do not need to upload documents to PIP Companion. This guide is just a reminder of things that may help give context to your claim preparation.
PIP is about how your condition affects daily living and mobility, not the diagnosis alone. Documents can give context, but your daily difficulties and real-life examples still matter.
Documents that may help give context
Medication list or prescriptions
A current medication list, repeat prescription, or notes about side effects.
Appointment letters
Letters showing appointments with health professionals or services.
Treatment or therapy notes
Notes about therapy, treatment, care, or support you receive.
Care or support plans
Plans that explain what help you receive or what support has been agreed.
Letters from health professionals
Letters from a GP, consultant, therapist, nurse, support worker or other professional.
Notes from school, college, workplace or support workers
Useful if someone else has recorded how your condition affects you.
Your own diary notes or real-life examples
Examples from daily life can help show what happens, how often, and what support you need.
