Hi @mishdoc, welcome to the community! Sorry to hear you're feeling so anxious at the moment. You don't always need to have a diagnosis for PIP. Some people have said it's been helpful to have some evidence to back up their conditions, but most of the time they will look at how your conditions affect you day-to-day. They use a list of descriptors to make their decision:
Personal Independence Payment (PIP) points system
So if your condition already affects your ability to do the activities they list, you probably don't need to wait until you have an official diagnosis 😊
Lots of members here have applied for PIP before, so if you have any questions please feel free to ask. I hope you'll enjoy your time on the community.
