Hello, i work full time and just about manage to stretch myself to this, with quite a few days sickness absences over each year. I have difficulty moving about as much as I used too for a start. I also suffer from anxiety/panic disorder/depression and also been told i know have ADHD. On top of this I have loud tinnitus and a chronic bladder infection which requires permanent use of antibiotics which has awful side effects. I often after work and all all weekend spend all my time in bed and suffer badly with suicidal thoughts and anxiety. For example yesterday i phoned in sick and had to take prescription valium for me to be able to rest and relax. My chronic health conditions effect my mental health so much. Some people have told me I may be eligible for basic PIP despite me working a full-time IT job. Is this true or not?

Hi and welcome to the community
You can claim pip and work
It all depends on how you function against the 12 descriptors as yo if you qualify or not
Look in the pip section for info to help you0 -
PIP isn't about a diagnosis as advised. People do claim PIP and work but if the work you do contradicts the reasons for your claim then yes, it can go against you.This may help. https://pipinfo.net/
