Hi @margaretmckillop9 and a very warm welcome to the community! Are you referring to PIP?
PIP has set criteria that looks at your mobility and daily care, rather than looking at a diagnosis. This means it is about the impact your disability has on your life.
Here is information about what PIP assesses.
Also, here is the descriptors that the assessor will use.

The DWP will add together your points from all the daily living activities. If you get between 8 and 11 points in total, you’ll get for the daily living component of PIP at the standard rate. If you get at least 12 points in total, you’ll get the daily living component at the enhanced rate.
