Ankylosing spondylitis was created by sharonselliennell
Hi, a strange ?, I have been diagnosed with AS after 35yrs plus of back and hip pain and all joints painfull stiff and swollen, I have been awarded Pip standard rate for both and ESA support group. I was wondering if AS was going to be classed as a known disability. I know im not going to get any better and probably getting worse, just need to know if you and this group have had anyone in my situation. I know I will never be able to work again but I am terrified if they stopped my benefit how I would survive. I do find the ?s for claiming PIP a little bit stupid especially planning and following ect. Do they plan to reword this in the future as I would like to know for future claims. Thankyou.

We have a number of members who have awards due to AS.

I'm afraid there are no planned changes to PIP that we are currently aware of.
