Is PIP still the over 50% rule. So six months of the year etc or 4 days a week out of 7
Is depression a fluctuating condition? Like you can have episodes and remission?

Yes I would say it definitely is. However PIP isn’t awarded based on any diagnosis.

Okay so for depression. You would need to be affected 4 days out of 7. Or for more than six months of the year?0

As advised yes. It’s the same for all your conditions.bluefox said:Okay so for depression. You would need to be affected 4 days out of 7. Or for more than six months of the year?0 -

Stop confusing yourself, think of it as how you are on 183 days out of 365.1

You are making this more difficult than it is. As we advised yes! As long as it’s more than 50% in total.1
