    Welcome to the community @desai786 :) It's great to have you with us!

    Do you mind me asking what stage of the PIP process you're at?

    Hi there
    sorry for the late reply…
    I have applied for pip for self given how my medications effect me, however not sure in terms of point scoring because I suffer from the following, high Blood presure
    under active thyroid, tingling hands
    Dizzyness lypomias on both legs causing a lot of discomfort 
    Can these conditions enable me to pip 
    saying that my recent bloods after pip submitted shows diabetes and cholesterol which I haven’t included onto form

    PIP is not awarded based on what conditions you have. PIP is assessed on the level of difficulty you have carrying out the activities they look at.

    OP, there is some guidance here on completing the health questionnaire that you will receive

    Hello again

    It varies depending on the backlog in your area. A successful claim could potentially take several months, maybe longer.

    From my first call to my assessment was 12 weeks. 
    Then it can take up to another 12 weeks after your assessment is given to the dwp
