Hi,

I am currently completing my transfer from DLA to PIP.

As well as mental and physical disabilities, I am also an alcoholic.

Does anyone know how alcoholism is viewed in relation to PIP?

Does anyone have any recent experience involving this?

Many thanks for any assistance.

There is nothing of significance in the DWP PIP Assessment guide, remember it is not the condition that is being considered but the limitations that result from it, providing your stated limitation are consistent with alcohol addiction then I can't see any specific reason why they would be treated differently from any other condition.
