Hi @peggysue

Good to meet you and welcome to our community. I will move your post to our PIP/DLA discussions where our very knowledgeable members will advise. If I can help further please let me know.

Hi,

PIP isn't about a diagnosis, it's how those conditions affect your ability to carry out daily activities based on the PIP descriptors.

You need to get permission to record the assessment by ringing the health assessment providers at least 48 hours before.
