Don't rely on memory when it's time to complete your PIP or ADP forms. The Purpl PIP & ADP Tracker is a free daily disability and symptom diary for disabled people and people with long term health conditions. Record how your condition affects everyday life as it happens, spot patterns over time and create a clear PDF report to refer back to when you need it. Use it to help organise your experiences when preparing for a PIP or Adult Disability Payment (ADP) application, review, reassessment, Mandatory Reconsideration, re-determination or appeal. WHAT YOU CAN DO Track Daily Living and Mobility activities and record how difficult they were that day. Skip anything that is not relevant to you. Record the help you needed, including help from another person, prompting or encouragement, supervision and aids or appliances. Think about reliability, including whether you could do an activity safely, to an acceptable standard, repeatedly and within a reasonable time. Record how you felt outside the benefit activities, including pain, fatigue, brain fog, sleep, mood or mental health, sensory overload, breathlessness, flare-ups, recovery time and medication side effects. Capture changing days, including better days, bad days, mixed days, flare-up days and recovery days. Add medication and reminders, including doses and whether medication was taken or missed. See patterns and insights across your diary, including which activities have been most difficult over time. Create your own PDF report for the dates you choose, with options to include summaries, graphs, activity information, reliability, medication and date-stamped diary entries. BUILT WITH DISABLED PEOPLE Purpl members helped shape and test the final design and functionality of the tracker, using it in their everyday lives and telling us what genuinely worked. "This really is a 'Swiss army knife' of an app. The freedom to enter what I like or skip what I don't need makes it fit around me." James, Purpl member "When my PIP reassessment happens, I have all of the information to hand." Annie, Purpl member "I can check any day, without having to try and remember." Claire, Purpl member FREE TO USE The Purpl PIP & ADP Tracker is completely free to download and use. You only need a free Purpl account. You do not need a paid Purpl membership or disability verification to use the tracker. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your diary is designed to stay private on your device. Your health entries are stored locally and are not uploaded as part of your diary. Reports are created on your device, and you decide if and when you want to export or share them. MADE BY PURPL Purpl is built to help disabled people and people with long term health conditions save money, access practical support and find trusted information. We created the PIP & ADP Tracker because trying to remember months of difficult days, changing symptoms and real-life examples when a form arrives can be incredibly hard. Your diary. Your experiences. Your record. IMPORTANT The Purpl PIP Tracker is designed to help you record your own experiences and organise information that may be useful during a PIP or Adult Disability Payment application, review or challenge. It does not calculate entitlement, guarantee an award or provide individual legal, medical or welfare rights advice. If you need individual advice about your claim or entitlement, consider speaking to a qualified welfare rights adviser or Citizens Advice.
