To score points for questions 11-17 it needs to be due to a specific mental illness or disablement, so be very careful of explaining the underlying cause of your problems
If you didn't include these problems on your ESA50 then the DWP may disregard them, they take the view that the first documents that a claimant send in are going to be the most accurate, a Tribunal will take a broader view of your problems.

I did give them lots of info but I'm afraid they have just gone by my form answers. The HP assessment was poor for cognition even worse than the pip assessment but atleast they actually did something and took my evidence into account. My fault I suppose but this form is confusing to say the least.
I'm not saying not to send the information, just warning you that the DM may not take it into account, but if you don't send then they certainly can't.
