1. Learn what PIP looks like
Read plain-English guidance about daily living, mobility and how everyday difficulties may be described.
How it works
A calmer way to prepare your PIP information.
PIP Companion helps you organise your thoughts before you complete a Personal Independence Payment claim. It cannot guarantee an outcome and is not a replacement for advice from a qualified benefits adviser.
2. Build answers at your own pace
Work through short prompts, save what you have, and come back when you need a break.
3. Save real-life examples
Keep notes about real moments from daily life that show what happened, what helped, and how it affected you.
Privacy and control
Your information stays in your control
PIP Companion is designed for sensitive preparation work. Your claim answers, health details and evidence notes are protected when stored, while basic account details such as your name and email are kept so we can manage your account.

Your preparation notes stay saved in your workspace, so you can return when you are ready.

Designed to reduce overwhelm
We break preparation down into small steps so you can move forward in your own way.
