The form doesn't ask about your child. It asks about their needs on a bad day, in language you've never been taught. Our NI-specific guides give you the words.
You know your child better than anyone. But the wording these forms need is completely different from how you naturally describe their needs.
"I've started the form three times and stopped. I don't know how to explain his bad days without sounding like I'm exaggerating."
"The supervision section is the part I always get stuck on. It asks about things I've never had to put into words before."
"I'm terrified I'll write something wrong and they'll use it against us at the telephone assessment."
"We were told she doesn't qualify — but looking back, I described an average day instead of her worst days."
Each guide is built for Northern Ireland. DfC forms, HSC terminology, telephone assessment format. Not recycled from a UK-wide guide.
136 real-world example answers for ADHD, autism, or combined presentations. Written for DfC assessors.
The only NI-specific PIP guide. All 12 activities with real wording examples for autism, ADHD, learning disability, and epilepsy. Built for DfC, not DWP.
The only NI-specific guide to DLA-to-PIP transition. Written around the telephone assessment format used by DfC.
All three core guides together — DLA Answer Bank, PIP Answer Bank, and Transition Toolkit. Everything from first application through to adult PIP.
Four steps. No solicitor needed. No jargon.
Names shared with permission. These are families who used the guides and told us what happened.
"I had started the form three times and given up. This guide made me realise I was describing his best days, not his worst. We got awarded on first application."
"Wow just wow, the detail is incredible. It gave me confidence I wouldn't have had going into this alone. Worth every penny."
"I was sobbing in the MLA's office before I found this. Then I used the guide, rewrote the form, and DLA was approved."
"I called DfC to check they'd received the forms. They told me a decision had already been made — awarded for 6 years. Sending 13 pages of referenced, appendixed evidence wasn't wasted effort."
"The DLA to PIP transition was terrifying. This toolkit turned it from a nightmare into a checklist. The telephone assessment section alone was worth it."
