Not sure if this is on the site but its really useful and appears to be the go too for DMs etc to assess the affects of a condition on a claimant (As well as their Forms)..Plus advice on what evidence and where it should come from.

webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/20130...gnosis-and-duration/

If you go to the bottom of the page it lists an A/Z ,within Each condition is a list of treatments restrictions on what a person can do with the illness or cant, treatments etc etc.

Each illness appears to give a guide to DMs etc what to look for, evidence and length of illness. It may be worthwhile when you do your form to look at what they will base your illness or disability on.

I'm afraid this document is only used for DLA claims.

Thanks Gordon, I know it says that but would they not also use it for PIP? As a guideline for conditions related to PIP and how it effects their daily lives. I found it very useful to assess the evidence I had against some of the stuff that was listed for my conditions. It may help people gauge what each condition is descripted. Ie. If you look at COPD it gives walking distances for Mild Moderate and Severe as well as treatments where evidence should come from, what they can be expected to do daily within the home, what help is needed..Hope it helps some at least see a benchmark that DWP appear to put on conditions. Cheers

DMs are only allowed to use authorised documents for any particular benefit, this is only authorised for use with DLA.
