Hi @UrbanPigeon - & welcome to the community from me also. PIP is not about any diagnoses rather how your disability is affected attempting/doing some activities of daily living &/mobilising. Reading about these activities/descriptors is a good place to begin: https://www.cambridgeshire.gov.uk/asset-library/personal-independence-payment-descriptors-and-scores-april-2022.pdf
