I suffer from Stage 3 Hidradenitis suppurativa, I used to be a very active person.
Being able to go rock climbing, lifting weights, I was in the military I fought for my country.
Now I can barely dress myself I have difficulty sleeping, boils hurt so much that even painkillers don't help.
Non-stop pus and blood makes me uncomfortable around people, I have anxiety, depression, I am simply a completely different person I used to be. Im still young and I'd love to enjoy my life!

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
We understand you're concerned about Hidradenitis suppurativa and how it is considered during assessments for Personal Independent Payment (PIP). However the Personal Independence Payment is paid to people who have a health condition or disability which causes difficulties with daily living or getting around. PIP is paid based on the difficulties causes by a health condition or disability, but there are not particular conditions which result in PIP being paid. You can read more about eligibility for PIP here: www.gov.uk/pip/eligibility
If Hidradenitis suppurativa causes difficulties with daily living or getting around, a sufferer could claim for PIP in the same way as someone with another health condition or disability.
