Personal Independence Payment — or PIP. You’ve probably heard of it, maybe even applied for it. But do you really know what it’s about? It’s not about diagnosis. It’s about how your condition affects your daily life — washing, dressing, cooking, moving, engaging with others

In this episode, we’ll talk about PIP and the unique role of occupational therapy. We’ll explore how OTs complete functional reports that describe not just the condition, but the reality: the fatigue, the breathlessness, the time it takes, the safety risks. The details that make all the difference in a PIP application.

So listen to Occupational Therapy Conversations. Learn what PIP really means, and why occupational therapy is at the heart of showing how people live day to day. Because in the end, occupation is life.
