Just a quick question about pip

I'm currently in the process of applying for pip and I have more than one health condition but some of them are well managed and don't effect my daily life that much unlike my fibromyalgia so my question is do I still mention the conditions that are well managed or only the ones that are having a bigger impact on a daily life?

Personally, I would mention everything

You can contact our benefits team for advice and guidelines on applying for pip

I suggest you tell them everything as your ability to cope daily can be affected by other conditions.

Absolutely mention e erything! They say they don't take into account your .epically conditions but the way they affect your daily living. Sometimes it's hard to distinguish between the conditions and Fibromyalgia. List it all, don't hold back. Good luck x

And when describing how all the conditions affect you, remember to detail the worst case scenario. And don't mention that most days are better with regard to any of your conditions. Good luck x

mention everything - the more the merrier!

Your fibro alone may be more manageable if it wasnt for your other problems so take that into account also

yes tell me them all conditions as they do want to know whether managed or not.

Not what you're looking for?
