Hi,PIP isn't about a diagnosis, it's how those conditions affect your ability to carry out daily activity based on the PIP descriptors. You can have a disability but not qualify for PIP because if you don't fit those descriptors you won't score the points needed for an award.Lots of people have invisible conditions and claim for PIP, you can't judge a book by it's cover. My daughter claims Enhanced for both parts and to look at her, you'd think there was nothing wrong with her. She has Autism, a learning disability and social anxiety disorder and needs a lot of help and support in her life just to get through her day.Starting another claim is possible but i'd advise getting some face to face advice before doing this. Using the same evidence you previously used will likely see another refusal. This link will help you find what's local to you for help and support. https://advicelocal.uk/

I'd see a different GP if your current one isn't helping or supporting you.0

Someone might look healthy and fit outwardly but have very serious problems internally such as heart and other problems.
Lots of people have serious invisible illnesses.

Hi @jilly42 and a warm welcome to the community! I'm sorry you didn't qualify for PIP. Did you seek any face to face advice during your claim?
