    As you mentioned it's not the condition it's how it affects you. I do know people who have depression and anxiety that affects their daily living enough to qualify for PIP. I'm afraid I don't know anyone with osteoarthritis, at least none who have told me they have it. 

    Scope do have an advice page about appeals Appealing a DWP decision | Disability charity Scope UK, I hope it can maybe help you not worry. At least for me the more I know about something the less I worry about it, I know that isn't true for everyone!
