Hi I was diagnosed back in Nov '2013, although I have been in pain daily for almost 40 years (mainly due to a broken hip and pelvis), I had never heard of fibro before then, just had my application for PIP declined. How much pain do I have to suffer to qualify??

everybody talks about PIP as if it's there for every one , it's not ! It's there for poor people who are suffering from cronic pian Just becuase some one is diegnosed with Fibromygia doesentent give them the right to instantly think yes I will have some of that . I myself suffer from Fibromygia, Tinatass, Ithrightess, And RLS and when I went through the the process of pip it was exstreamly differcuilt The main thing is is to tell the truth about your condistion But I can tell you now you need back up meaning letters from the Docter and hospitial and loads of proof that you are really in a bad way For instant you can't cook hot food , you have difficulty in bathing or showing , You can't walk very far , you Have differculty with you medication All of these things are true suffers have to deal with , I'm sorry please don't take this in the wrong way as to May be a true sufferer with pain Good luck on your PIP requisite
