I got my decision , not enough points so I’m asking for a MR. In the letter I got one of the questions I never got points for mental
Health ( I did for physical issue just short of 2 points ) I was awarded 0 points as there wasn’t a diagnosis strong enough to award it. mental health distress . Am I wrong that pip is not based on any diagnosis You have BUT ! Or / Any meds you take. Obviously if you have side effects but pip is indeed based on how your life’s affected by whatever symptoms you have from an illness ? It stuck out to me considering everywhere I look it tells you pip is not about your diagnosis but how your life’s affected!
