Medical cannabis and PIP claim?

Hi everyone, I have a question about PIP claims and medical cannabis.

Cannabis was rescheduled in the UK (from schedule 1 to schedule 2 of the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971) in 2018 to allow for the medical application of the drug.

Although there is no real access through the NHS, specialist clinicals have been licensed by the government to provide medical cannabis products to those who qualify for it.

I currently use medical cannabis to manage my chronic pain condition, but I am really worried about disclosing this in my PIP claim due to existing stigma and lack of awareness over the changes in the law.

Does anyone have any experience in this area? any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

I'm not a mod but I agree, tell all, with supporting documentation. If they choose to ignore your supporting documentation, at least you have it in the claim from the start, for the purposes of an MR and Appeal if necessary. They ignored supporting docs about our daughter's rare-ish genetic condition first time around, but she went on to win Enhanced on both at Appeal.
And please insist on your assessment being recorded, you should be sent a copy on CD I believe. You can be sure to mention the supporting evidence and the fact it is entirely legal, on the recording. [Folk say still do your own recording if at all possible in case they 'accidentally' lose theirs!]. 48 hours after the assessment, call DWP for your copy of the report, PA4. If you don't like what you read, you can actually write in ASAP to coldly contest key points before the decision is made, this could save you an MR and Appeal altogether. [It did for our daughter last time].
Best wishes,
Denby
