Fibromyalgia /PIP/ Disability Classification UK

A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

Hi, Technically this is 2 questions but they are interlinked so I thought I'd ask them together x

I am already on P.I.P because of my Disc Degeneration, but now I've been diagnosed with FM as well, should I try to get my award updated or leave it till my review next year. (I don't want to end up losing what I already have)

Part 2 Has FM been classified yet in the UK as a long term disability? I know it has in America and Northern Ireland but not sure about here.

Thanks for your advice x

Personal independence payments. Replaces disability living allowance and is really hard to get. A UK benefit.
