Hi @Toffee PIP is not based on the condition itself but is based on how your condition affects your ability to carry out daily tasks and your mobility. I hope our community members will be along shortly to share their experience with you

Toffee

Thank you ami

Hello @Toffee
I have Fibromyalgia, and I was awarded PIP high rate for both components a few years ago. I will happily help if you still need people. Just let me know if and how I can help.

@Toffee
i have fibromyalgia and several other debilitating illnesses. Four years ago I was awarded enhanced daily living and enhanced mobility. Although nothing has changed, if anything things have gotten worse, in May I was awarded standard for both.

HI,

I'm sorry to hear this. Do be aware that the Tribunal won't be able to take into consideration any worsening of condition. They will only look at how your conditions affected you when the decision was made.

So sorry to here this trezash big hugs thank you for sharing your experience x
