I have been diagnosed with severe spinal stenosis since Sept 2023 by to it’s only now become problematic following a bout of sciatica. I can barely walk for 5-6 mins without having to sit down as the tops of my legs start going numb & I feel as I might buckle over so have to quickly find a seat somewhere. I was also advised re: equine cauda & if I go numb in my nether regions to dial 999 straight away. I have to work from home as a result of the spinal stenosis. Would I qualify for PIP? Thanks
