<p>The assessment for Personal Independence Payment (PIP) is not designed to capture
someone’s condition. Instead it is designed to assess how a claimant’s condition affects
their functional ability. The Department therefore encourages claimants to provide
as much relevant evidence as necessary to support their claim. The Certificate of
Visual Impairment forms part of this suite of evidence but on its own does not provide
sufficient information for a comprehensive assessment of functional ability.</p><p>Further
information on the assessment process and sources of evidence can be found in Part
1 of the PIP Assessment Guide: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/personal-independence-payment-assessment-guide-for-assessment-providers"
