Extra bedroom due to PIP.

Hi All
Today I got a message in my Universal Credit jurnal that I can apply for an extra room due to my disability. It looks like they granted me something for PIP after my MR. I'm still waiting for the official letter.
My family situation is such that we rent a 4-room house privately, as I live with my wife and 4 sons. However, since my oldest son is on our teenant agreement, they only pay us for a 3-room LHA house.
I wrote an appeal in December, but I still haven't received a response. Because I have difficulty moving due to chronic back pain, I cannot climb stairs, so I sleep on the ground floor in the living room.
Due to depression and anxiety, I often have trouble sleeping, so I watch TV until late at night.
Because I suffer from severe hearing loss (I use hearing aids), I can only watch TV when it is loud enough.
This obviously disturbs my wife's sleep, so she sleeps upstairs in the bedroom and I sleep downstairs in the living room.
I have a question: are the above reasons sufficient to apply for an extra room?

Also due to high blood pressure, I snore at night

Just give your reasons why you can't sleep with your partner. Only a decision maker can make the final decision on that. Once a decision is made you will receive a letter on your journal.0
