I have a question about the PIP descriptor "Engaging with other people face to face." Can this apply to physical health conditions?
I have ME/CFS, and engaging with others significantly worsens my fatigue and pain symptoms for hours afterwards. Would this descriptor apply to me, or is it strictly for mental health conditions?
Yes, it can apply to physical health conditions. If you look at page 70 of the guide to PIP Claims and Reviews - you will see there is an example of someone with extreme fatigue and its effect on concentration. That should help you write your response.
