A very warm welcome to our community.
I am sorry to hear that you have dermatomysos, I have to confess, I have not heard of this condition, before your post.
I have taken the liberty to find more about your problem.
It is a dreadful.
Could I ask what stage your are at, in your quest to claim PIP?
We can and will support you at every stage of the process.
The DWP tends to under state a diagnosis, for it's beloved "daily living activities."
Your condition rings a very sad bell for me and my family.
Let us know if we can assist you, in anyway possible.
With kindness.
