I am new to the forum.I am in the process completing the universal credit work capability form . i have complex ptsd as a result of trauma and longterm mental health issues and fibromalgia .I am on to the physical functions part- staying conscious when awake. I was just wondering is dissociation would fit into this category or not? i experience dissociation as a coping mechanism. its a altered stated of consciousness. but iam not unconscious.

Also i claim personal independence payments .do universal credit and pip share information. i am looking at my pip form .but realise universal credit is aimed at work capability.

It is worth you describing your problems but I think you will struggle to score, your description seems to place your problems as having a mental health cause and you cannot score for these types of problems for questions 1-10, just 11-17.
