Chronic Pain

hi All I have had my assessment and the DWP has my report I was told by my examinier my case was pretty straightforward and I should hear within 4 weeks. I’m going into week 2 now , I was wondering if there is anyone else that suffers witch chronic back pain and takes high doseages of pain killers ? And did your case go through ?
This is so stressful all of this and it is causing my angziety to flare up in full .

A very warm welcome.
Give the PIP helpline a call, to request a copy of your assessment report.
When you have this to hand, you will be able to see what has been recommended.
Hope this helps.
Please let us know, if you need any further assistance.
However specifically answering your question I too have back pain that is medicated with Morphine and Pregabalin. I received 0 points for that condition.
It all depends if you can match the impact on your life with the descriptors and in doing so gain at least 8 points.
