in PIP, DLA, and AA
I apologise for asking lots of questions.  I don't want to be a burden to anyone.  I may have already asked a similar question. Will the DWP  be tough on me with PIP and be awkward about getting and or waiting for a diagnosis of either autism or adhd . Sorry for asking.  Just worrying as usual.  Sorry everyone.

    You haven't burdened anyone here, you need advice and that's what this forum will always give.

    PIP isn't based on a specific diagnosis and many claim without them, it's how your conditions/symptoms affect your day to day life that they're more interested in.
