Cheers sweetheart.. only thing is .. they asked for evidence and I asked reception at docs and she said thing they give out is a letter to say what meds I get my mirtazapine is on repeat but nothing else is .. they asked for stubs for prescriptions but I don't have any .. and there's one doc that told me I had this gave 3 mths of antibiotics 20 yrs ago ever since every other doc just gave me a weeks worth without looking at my records lol so in Sept I contacted the same doc and he's now but on system that I need 3 mths worth so in my form I have his name x x thanks for your input on the matter much appreciated x

๐Ÿ‘‹ there Shannon in my eyes ๐Ÿ‘€ yes you should be awarded pip because itโ€™s classed as a chronic illness and it does affect your movements and mental health too and it is serious because I donโ€™t know if you know but the scientists ๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿ”ฌ donโ€™t know much about it as yet and they canโ€™t rely on the doctors for there opinion because the doctors donโ€™t know enough about hs so thatโ€™s why you struggle to get any answers from them and medication ๐Ÿ’Š to this condition even affects your walking and can eventually cause you to be permanently disabled
So if you think about it then they should award you without fail but if they say no then appeal it and take evidence from people like me who have been in a very bad situation from the hs if you look ๐Ÿ‘€ at my profile for example I hope ๐Ÿคž this helps you out but you can come back to me if you need any further help so good luck ๐Ÿคž ๐Ÿ‘
