Welcome to the community @grantykidney
I'm sorry to hear that you're experience some unwanted symptoms at the moment. Just to clarify, are you saying you can't feel anything in your feet?
For what purpose are you asking whether you're classed as disabled? For example, is this for a benefits claim, or something else?1 -
My feet feel like they’re burning numb I also have sharp pains it’s really hard to explain. The kidney doctor said I’ve got neuropathy… will I still get my pip? And thank you for getting back to me 🙂0

PIP isn’t awarded based on any diagnosis. It’s how those conditions affect your ability against the 12 PIP activities.
You can see them here https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/Global/Migrated_Documents/adviceguide/pip-9-table-of-activities-descriptors-and-points.pdf1 -
Hi there
I have neuropathy too si can sympathise with the symptoms
A disability is defined as a physical or mental health impairment that significantly affects your ability to carry out day to day activities and expected to last 12 months or more
This however doesn't mean you will be entitled to pip have a look at the link above to see if you meet the criteria
You said will I still get my pip ? Are you already getting pip and asking about a change in circumstances?1 -
I’ve already got pip from when I was on dialysis. I had my transplant a year today. But I’ve just sent my pip form off again they asked if there’s and changes… Silly as it sounds when I where my sliders one came off and I didn’t even know about it till my partner said!0

Do you have any advice how I can make them better? 🙂0

Sorry we are unable to give medical advice there are meds that can help with the nerve pain speak to your gp
You will have to see the outcome of your PIP can't really advise as it depends how your condition affects you against the descriptors1
