PIP Q5 - Managing medications/treatments

More
6 years 3 months ago #205350 by Amber
I am currently in the middle of doing my PIP form to go from DLA over to PIP but I am getting stuck on Q5. I have to go to my local hospital once a month to have an infusion for my medication where my blood pressure, temperature and oxygen levels are monitored regularly throughout my infusion.
I do not take any other medications now, as even strong painkillers do not touch my symptoms and pain levels.
How should I answer the question, should I say that I cannot monitor my health conditions and administer my own medications?
Thanks in advance

Based on your post I'm not sure that you can say that you cannot manage your medication, it seems to me that these "precautions" are simply required as part and parcel of the infusion process.

You don't suggest that you would have any problems with dealing with your medication if you actually were prescribed any to take at home.
