Hi,
I know a claim for PIP is not based on the condition somebody has however I dare say could be of use!
How would symptoms without any diagnoses after seeing a specialist be treated? In the morning I am stiff and sore. Lasts a few hours... Was sent to a Rhuematologist whom reports no evidence of inflamation. Come back if GP thinks required. Basically get on with it until something comes about boxes can be ticked and some pills can be pumped out.
Would the DWP regard my morning problems as easy to dismiss?
Thanks

Do you have anything to lose? Are you in receipt of ESA?

Providing your GP etc. accept that your symptoms are real then even if you do not have a diagnosis it should still be reasonable for you to include your problems on the form.
