Morning the extreme heat has wiped me out, I do like Summer but 29 degrees has been too much the last couple of weeks, broken sleep can be very wearing so possible catch up with your doctor, I do wake up during the night and make a warm drink . It does not hurt to grab some zzzzz in the afternoon, sometimes a little nap helps x

Hi there and welcome to the group. If you mean will you get anything for the fibro. That may depend on how much help you need. Having fibro or even having a blue badge does not mean you would be entitled to the PIP benifit im afraid.

PIP is based on how any illness effects you not what the illness is.

I see you've left your post unlocked to this community only for privacy reasons you may want to lock it. Also locked posts tend to get more replies for obvious reasons xx

Hello and welcome, PIP. Is not awarded on a diagnosis or illness or the amount of prescription drugs you are taking. PIP is awarded on your inability to cope ma the PIP descriptiors in a repeatable, safely and timely manner for 50% of your daily living activities.

Hi no idea if you will get anything with regards to PIP that all depends on how your condition impacts on your daily life. It is not about what illness you have but how it affects you in your daily life. Everyone is different too. Good luck MistyA

its not about the condition, its about the impact it has on everyday live. Google PIP and have a look at the questions/tasks and if you think you will qualify contact PIP for a form

Not what you're looking for?
