Yes, I get pip at the high level, they have reduced everytime there was a review but I took them to the appeal proces and won both times, I also recieve universal credit, I am unable to work with the severity of my fibro when having a flare up, my worst flare up lasted 6 month, on average they last between 6-12 weeks when I get them, last year I lost 33 weeks in total, if you need any help on claiming get back to me.

Hi Sandra I needed some help filling the forms in. I contacted my local citizens advice who then arranged for a call back for me. Here’s the number (Phone number can only be seen by the question and answer creators) explain you need help filling in the claim form xx

I'm filling in the paperwork for this currently. What are the types of wording you should avoid?

Hi Brettj
Thank you for your reply, this has brought me some hope. I was advised to claim due to me losing hours at work, now off on sick as I’ve had a really bad flare up amongst other things. My claim has been rejected and Iam now taking it to appeal but Iam finding it so draining.
