Right or wrong!
Speaking To a friend two weeks ago she said she did her pip review for her MH and Physical conditions,her older sister filled in her form explained the help she needs etc but then my friend did this... She wrote a synopsis of her daily life,how she couldn't cope without the help she gets, how she would slide further down and not take her medication (She is bipolar) and that she is NOT faking her conditions but faking when she felt well.
Do You think the part about not faking was a bit much? Was she too blunt? I'd be a bit wary of using language like that. Have any of you ever done similar?

People genuinely write all sorts of things in their applications and she shouldn't worry about this. While it isn’t always the most helpful way to phrase things, there’s nothing wrong with her sharing her thoughts or emphasising that she isn’t faking it. It’s understandable, many applicants worry about not being believed.
