[QUOTE=peanut;35674487]It depends. Take for example Crohn's disease, it is different for everyone but if you read the guidelines set for the DWP they don't have a clue, it makes it out like nothing more than a mild tummy upset. What chance do certain illness have when it's like that.

Sadly very little Peanut, and that is why with complicated illnesses like Crohn's it should go on your specialists/doctor's advice notes as it is them who deal with you and as you know all to well crohns is an illness that cannot be faked as you go through to many tests mri scans,scopes etc Crohns is a very complicated illness that not only affects the bowel, it can lead to inflamation of the joints,eye problems and many other nasties that crohns's patients have to cope with on a daily basis CROHNS is one nasty illness and for many remission from Crohns does not last long, unfortunately there is no cure for Crohns but hopefully one day there will be sooner rather than later ...
