I have a lot of autoimmune system disorders most are connected like Raynaud's and scleroderma.  Haven't been able to work for years and scared to death about PIP & UC.  Hoping to get some reassurance from your page.   M3P

Hi @Maggs3pets welocome to the community

Maggs3pets

On ESA and DLA.  Got PIP form yesterday and arranged help to fill it out.  Do I need OT reports?  Read that on a Fibro page today.  Not sure why I would need them as I have medical reports, GP letters, Rheumatologist and Gastroentrologist reports.

Any and all relevant evidence should be sent with your claim. Remember that PIP is about how your functionality is affected and not about your conditions. All evidence should be about how your  abilty to perform daily tasks is affected.
If you haven't done so, take the self test on the B&W site which will give you an insight to what is required and the points scoring system
