If you refer back to your other post I don't believe the assessor is saying that you don't have a certain condition (a diagnosis which your doctor has made) but he/she doesn't agree that your condition accounts for you being totally unable to carry out everyday tasks (functionality)
If you do have a medical condition which affects your functionality then it doesn't matter exactly what it is....
As a lot of people advised you should seek advice local to you and ask for MR...
PS I wonder if i could suggest updating your original post rather than this one so that it will make more sense to people reading it?
Like Poppy has said, it will be down to the condition affects you at this moment in time rather than a diagnosis. I wish you the best of luck with the assessment and please do let us know how it goes!
