Have you tried Citizens advice, are you in any support groups or if you have a support or social worker?

My tip would be to complete the form as fully as possible giving full details of why and how you can't do the relevant descriptors reliably on the majority of days.     See  https://pipinfo.net/issues/reliably

Add extra pages (preferably typed for legibility and easier editing).  Treat it as a new application, and fully explain your difficulties with the PIP descriptors.

It helps to know where you currently score points, do you have your award letter?

Can you use your original form as a basis?  (it's always a good idea to keep a copy).
