Has anyone ever gotten disability from having continuous crisis with HBSC? My sister gets crisis often and it stops her from being able to work. She misses days at work and is getting to the point we’re she may not be able to work anymore. If anyone has any information or insight on the subject , I will really appreciate it.

Hello, I'm so sorry that your sister has been feeling unwell. I work part-time because a full time job is far too exhausting and I always end up in hospital. I applied and am receiving PIP. She should try and do the same, the form is rather arduous but it's worth it in the end. Also she should try alkaline water it's worked wonders for my disease. I hope she feels better soon.
