Good Morning
I was wondering weather there is anyone on here that has Lymphedema like I do.
I suffer with my whole leg, and was wondering weather any one does and how they get on with treatments etc. I did apply for PIP but it's not recognised as a disability which I think is wrong as it is to some degree. Look forward to hearing from anyone with this. Thank you.

Hi @Rafiki and welcome to the community.
It should be noted that PIP isn't awarded based on diagnosis, but on how the condition affects your daily living. You can find a list of the descriptors and how PIP is awarded on this PDF from Citizens Advice which might help you if you choose to claim again.
We don't hear Lymphedema mentioned often around here, but members such as @dragon1998, @maz1201, @sweetlilly, @kward4666 and @ladycat01 have spoken of having the condition previously.
How are you getting on today?0
