Bi-polar stable for a few years - should I mention?

Hi all!

My bi-polar has been stable for a few years without meds but an episode can occur anytime and be completely debilitating.

Will the DWP discount this conditon as it's been so long since I had an episode?

I have to do an MR and am wondering whether the bi-polar is even worth mentioning, or whether I should focus on my other condtions which I live with daily (Tourette's, ADHD, OCD).

Thank you for your help!

Unless you can show that there is a reasonable risk of an episode occurring then the DWP will struggle to factor it in as you need to have had your current limitations for the last three months and reasonably be expected to have them for the next nine months.
