Hi I have a PIP assessment coming up shortly been diagnosed with fibro from rheumatologist 5 years ago and was wondering if whether its worthwhile going ahead as they  may not see how my condition affects me

Hi,

PIP isn't awarded based on a diagnosis, it's how those conditions affect your ability to carry out daily activity based on the PIP descriptors. They won't know how your conditions affect you unless you tell them, as all people are affected differently by these conditions.

When you filled out the form you should have told them everything about your conditions. The face to face assessment will be to confirm what you said in the form and to answer any more questions they have.

Evidence will be needed to support your claim because they rarely contact anyone for this.
