What I do not understand about this OPD is if you google OPD it is only found in the context of PIP nowhere else? So how would / could anyone have or get a diagnosis with OPD??
That's what I don't get either. I wonder if anyone has been awarded descriptor f without having 'OPD' written down.. that what I'd like to know. Would make me feel a bit less worried about my tribunal0 -
I'm sort of in a similar boat to you and the E/F and OPD descriptors is quite confusing, I had troubles with it aswell. @ilovecats and @poppy123456 helped explain it a bit to me. They said I should be F because I can't go out alone and when I'm around strangers alone I can get aggressive/violent and lose control rather than E which I originally thought.My diagnosis is just severe social anxiety but everyone that gets involved thinks I have aspergers/autism but I failed the tests for that so I dunno, I think I probably have it somewhere deep down but it's a specific case (no sensory issues etc) so I can't seem to pass the test so they just lump it down to anxiety.So based off what they said to me and what you've written I think we could/should both get 11F1

Yes it is, that's good they have been helpful to you as well. Anxiety can be very debilitating and really difficult to live with.
Good luck with yours! I'm hoping we both get F0 -

I have no physical mobility problems and managed to get F. So it's definitely possible. Was given 0 for both at assessment and ended up with daily living rate and enhanced mobility3 -
That's great news @Pipquestions2! Thank you for sharing this with us!

Forgot to say that I was awarded 12 points for Mobility for Planning and Following a route of a journey. Thanks to everyone for their help, and good luck to anyone going through the same!0

Hi
Can someone PLEEEEASE tell me what year the above happened? I think I should appeal myself as I am in a similar situation, but the recent changes they made to PIP assessments regarding mobility points and anxiety related/OPD symptoms makes me think it wouldnt be worth my while. But the above posts from AspieAngie give me hope and suggest otherwise, if it happened in 2018 or 2019, after the changes were made.
But if the posts were made before 2017, it would be different. For whatever reason, there are no year markers on the website indicating when posts were made, hence me asking direct. Hope nobody minds this!0 -

Hope nobody minds this!Hi,This thread is from 2019 but you can't compare yourself to another person because we're all affected differently by these conditions. You really should get some face to face advice from an agency near you.1 -
