Looking for help , I am a 57 yr old male who until 7 months ago had been fit and healthy until itp struck . I have had various treatments , and am currently on a large dose of Romioplostin , with plates bouncing around from 30/60 . I have also been diagnosed with idiopathic neuropathy and chronic fatigue . I am wondering if anyone knows if you are able to claim any sickness benefit or pip with these conditions ?
