PIP - Disclose all diagnosed conditions ?

On my online PIP form I have already put down 7 'Significant' conditions (as listed in my gp notes)
I have others listed in my gp notes as well;
Raynauds
Atrial fibrillation

none of them really affect me day to day, the AF has disspaeared for the last 18 months, and I am not on meds or current treatment for either. Raynauds is for me at the moment, a minor inconvenience (for me)

1) Do I mention on the PIP form (Think it might make it muddier to see what is affecting me)

Hi big_vern,
I would tend to put everything down. It is important to do this. If your health deteriorates, and you wish to ask DWP to revise (increase) benefit then DWP might claim it is a new condition and hence there might be a delay before benefit can be revised. Secondly, many conditions do interact and affect each other. Please consider this.
I hope this helps.
