Hey there @reina and welcome to the community.
I'm so sory to hear nothing's helping with your pain. I hope they can get support to you soon.
PIP isn't about any kind of diagnosis, it's all about how your issues affect you in daily life, so if you're struggling with moving around, it could definitely be worth applying for it.1 -
OK thank you I know p.i.p isn't a diagnosis.. I heard alot people on this pip never thought bout it just not

Oh sorry, I think I didn't explain that very well. PIP isnt claimed because you have a certain diagnosis, it's claimed because the issues you have make doing every day things difficult. You can claim it without any specific diagnosis. 😊
