Hi all I'm Kevin. I suffer with constant sciatica, due to a long standing disc Injury at the bottom of my back. I have also just been diagnosed with a trapped nerve in my neck, which is very painful. I have recently completed a pip form. Should I mention my trapped nerve to them, as well.

Hi,
PIP is not about a diagnosis. What matters is how those conditions affect you in relation to the 12 PIP activities. You should tell them everything about how all your conditions affect you. If there’s anything you missed when filling out the form you can tell them during the assessment because most people have them.1 -
Have the above answers helped you to understand this a little further @kevin64? How did you find completing the form?
