Hi, Just a quick question, are the effects of medication taken into account when assessing your ability to walk and mobilise? For both pip and esa? I have ms and struggle to walk anyway but I now also have to take muscle relaxants because of spasms ,which unfortunately makes walking even more difficult for me. I've looked through the guides but couldn't find anything.

Thank you
Yes, the effects of prescribed medicine that you normally take should be taken into account even if it has a negative effect on your ability to complete some of the ESA or PIP activities.
