Scottish welfare system is a lot better than English system. Parliament is now debating whether or not the doctors note should be sufficient for claiming disability benefits. I signed the petition along with others and they keep me posted 🙋‍♀️🤞🤞

Dwp do recognise fibromyalgia. Pip and ADP are both based on how your condition affects you, not on your diagnosis
