Thank you for joining. Thank you for your question.
I am unsure of an answer. Have you contacted PIP website for qualifying criteria..
Some one from our community or team will advise.
Benefits are complex and confusing. Have a look at our benefit information, advice for answers.
Consider also speaking to CAB . Can help with forms, plus have a lot of knowledge and expertise.
We are a supportive community. Friendly .
Please ask if we can help with anything. Some one will know.
Take care

Have you tried the PIP self test to see how you could possibly score? As @poppy123456 says, it;s not about the diagnosis but how it affects you in day to day life.
