Wat is the specialist you are seeing in November 2018?
Have you had the condition for at least three months?
As others have explained, it's about how you meet the descriptors for PIP.
Mind you I suppose that on that basis anybody can claim to have severe physical and/or mental health issues even if they don't have them.
The most important bit is getting enough evidence together that will make the decision maker agree that the difficulties exist and that they match enough of the descriptors to get enough points to generate an award.
How you can manage that I have no idea if you can't prove that the conditions actually exist without a diagnosis.
