Hi @Toffee PIP is not based on the condition itself but is based on how your condition affects your ability to carry out daily tasks and your mobility. I hope our community members will be along shortly to share their experience with youDisability Gamechanger - 2019

Hello @Toffee
I have Fibromyalgia, and I was awarded PIP high rate for both components a few years ago. I will happily help if you still need people. Just let me know if and how I can help.
Kindest Regards

Do be aware that the Tribunal won't be able to take into consideration any worsening of condition. They will only look at how your conditions affected you when the decision was made.I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.
