Mandatory reconsideration and new pregnancy
Liseauk
Community member Posts: 2 Listener
Hi all.
I have applied (and been turned down) for pip. I have extreme anxiety and depression and also bad hip pains. I am doing a mandatory reconsideration form as I don't agree with this and don't agree with anything reported from my face to face assessment.
I have found out recently I am pregnant, do I tell them I am pregnant and therefore not on any medication anymore?
My worry is they will put everything down to the pregnancy and ignore the fact I have been suffering for years.
Thanks

Hi @Liseauk
Will you be seeing any specialists through your pregnancy regarding your mental health and hip pain? If so it would be good to talk to them and get some evidence of how your impairments will continue during pregnancy despite stopping the medication.
Its good to remember that PIP isnt about a diagnosis or a medication, it is about how your impairment affects you on a day to day basis.0 -
