PIP Definition of Therapy vs Medication

In section 3, the language talks about needing support/supervision for medication or therapy in 3a and 3b, but only therapy from 3c onwards. Is there a known definition of therapy that DWP use? Can you achieve 2 points if you take medication in tablet form without any additional “therapy”.

If a Pharmacist delivers your medication to your home because you aren’t able to routinely collect due to your conditions, does this count as support? A friend or carer used to collect from chemist before they started delivering this year.

Would being taken to blood tests every 12 weeks to monitor immunosuppression count towards points? Would IV infusions count as therapy? When you add up these appointments plus being taken to physiotherapy and GP appointments, my carer takes me to an appointment almost every week as well as managing all my meds (14 timed pills a day) into timed pill boxes and 5 non-timed medications for me to take as needed.

What about if you need regular therapy/treatment but cannot access it due to NHS shortages? It is on your record as required, you’re on waiting list but no treatment available. Does that count as needing supervision for that therapy? Because you will need it when it becomes available.

Is there any clarity on these definitions that has been tested? I am thinking I will apply for MR. Currently on 0 points for section 3 and qualify for Standard Daily Living. Thanks.
