The PIP Guidance Support Tool — available now at:
https://www.thescottishcrown.org.uk/public/support/pip/
allows users to:

• ✅ Select a PIP activity (e.g., Preparing Food, Washing & Bathing)

• ✅ View all valid descriptors and their current DWP points values

• ✅ Read step-by-step guidance on how to clearly communicate functional difficulties

Why This Matters?

Many claimants find the PIP process confusing, with essential information buried in large DWP documents.
This tool makes the rules simple and transparent, ensuring people know:

• What the DWP is actually assessing

• How points are awarded

• How to express the impact of disability accurately

The goal is not to influence or exaggerate claims — but to empower individuals with the official criteria they are judged upon.

A Focus on Fairness and Clarity

Statement from The Stuart Prince

"Claimants should never be disadvantaged simply because they do not speak in policy language. This tool gives people the clarity and the dignity they truly deserve — the exact rules, the points involved, and how to communicate their needs properly. 

As a disabled person myself, and as someone who requires the use of artificial intelligence systems to support my daily life, I have used that same artificial intelligence technology to held design and build these tools for others.  

And whilst i remain on the outside of the system, then i will do all that is required to ensure, that others within the system, are guided towards a more transparent and equitable welfare system. Welfare is a social security right — not a privilege that can be used to degrade, humiliate or harm those most vulnerable in our society. 

It is the duty — and the burden — of those sworn to service, to uphold the dignity of the nation as a whole."
