    It depends how this condition affects your day to day living.

    Hi

    Welcome to the community.

    You would need to have proven how the condition affects you and whether you meet the pip descriptors to qualify for an award.

    Some people are denied awards and others are granted them.

    Its not about having a particular condition but whether or not its disabling and how it limits your level of physical and/or mental functioning.

    People may be either denied awards, or granted them if their claim is accepted.

    A decision letter will inform you of the outcome.

    Hi @waza80 and welcome to the community. As others have said, it is based on how it affects your daily life and we wouldn't be able to tell you what you would be awarded. Here's a link to the PIP descriptors so you can see roughly what you might score: https://www.benefitsandwork.co.uk/personal-independence-payment-pip/pip-points-system

    Have you already had the phone assessment?
