Hi there
Sorry to hear you have suffered from covid
There is no need to inform pip as the condition needs to have been there for 3 months and expected to last another 9 months
Remember pip is about the ability to perform tasks and not diagnosis

Hello @Ella1234125
Welcome to the community, I'm glad to see you join us.
I'm sorry to hear that you've had issues since developing Covid, sadly it has impacted a lot of people long-term and hopefully in time there will become more support available. I hope the above reply has been helpful about PIP.
Can I ask, do you receive any support to manage your mental health?Online Community CoordinatorConcerned about another member's safety or wellbeing? Flag your concerns with us.
