I would suggest going to speak to a welfare rights officer as that is who helped me with my claim they know how to go about things and would have a better idea. If you do claim try to get as much evidence as you can ie rheumy letters and doc letters to support your conditon and the effect it has on you. If you can't find a welfare rights office then maybe citizen advice. Good luck and sorry to hear you are suffering.Tracey0

Hi
Do apply for it, get as much supporting evidence as you can but be warned, they are turning most claims down as a matter of course so if this does happen appeal.
Get supporting letters from g.p, hosp etc and include how it effects u mentally, on this form do not be scared to say how it really is for you.
If you want to talk it through further i dont mind if you want to p.m me
Take care
