I have an autoimmune condition and am considering making a claim for this benefit but feel like I may not have a severe enough condition to be eligible.
I just wondered if anyone else here claims?
My condition means I get flare ups every now and then which can last anything from a day to months. Even when I’m not having a flare up, I am adjusting my lifestyle to try to prevent flare ups. When the flare ups come, they cause me a lot of pain & discomfort and I have on numerous occasions needed family members to travel to me to care for my children. Does this sound like something that would make me eligible? The application process looks a little daunting (meetings with independent health officials etc and if you qualify, frequent reviews etc) so that’s putting me off a little.

Is anyone claiming PIP? (Personal independence payments)?
