Hello @omma and welcome to the community, good to see you join us.

Sorry to hear that you have been unsuccessful so far with your claims for PIP, but hopefully this time around it goes your way. It's good that you received support with filling out the form and I hope you found that helpful.

HI and welcome,

If you continue to re-apply using the same evidence you've previously used then a refusal is likely each time. Have you ever taken it to Tribunal? If you haven't then this is what you should do this time. Although it's not guaranteed that you're entitled to PIP unfortunately.

This is because it's not awarded based on any diagnosis or the amount of medication you take. It's how those conditions affect your ability to carry out daily activities based on the PIP descriptors.

You can have a disability but not qualify for PIP because if you don't fit the descriptors you won't score the points for an award.

What you should do is get some expert advice to see if you do qualify for certain. For this start here. https://advicelocal.uk/

As above you need to appeal a decision of you keep applying and get refused then either you don't qualify or you are not presenting your case sufficient 

They will see you just keep applying rather than challenging the decision

Having surgery can sometimes go against you when claiming PIP, especially if your condition is expected to improve from the surgery. Part of the criteria for PIP is you must expect your conditions to last at least 9 months. You can have multiple conditions but still not be entitled to anything. It really depends on how those conditions affect you against the PIP descriptors.

As you've applied multpile times then my advice is get some expert advice.

Thank you
