Genetic testing result, whether to share with DWP

Genetic testing result, whether to share with DWP was created by Orangeblossom
Hi I wonder if you could help me with something.

I recently had some genetic testing done and it came back with the APOE4 gene associated with alzheimer's disease. This is not a determinant gene but a risk actor and is linked with symptoms at an earlier stage.

I'm not sure whether to mention this as part of my PIP review which is due soon. It is in my medical record as i shared my results with the GP. I am also unsure about sharing my summary medical records which is not available online, via the GP practice, as they have this result in there.

It is not a new condition / diagnosis as such but may explain some of my symptoms. Any advice welcome. Many thanks.

I don't see any reason to mention it, you are being assessed on the limitations that prevent you reliably completing the PIP activities on the majority of days, from your post the test is not related to your current problems.
