With pip and fluctuating mental health does it have to be half the days in a week to suffer with mental health problems or can it be weeks not sure how it works with fluctuating conditions

thanks

You need to show that you have problems more than 50% of the time, so if your conditions fluctuate over a day, then you should refer to hours, if it is a week then use days and if it is a longer period such as a month, then use weeks.

Be careful to explain exactly how you are affected and for how long, try not to make it too complicated and always double check your maths, I know it is obvious but 51% will be treated with less weight than 80%.
