HI and welcome,

PIP isn't about a diagnosis, it's how those conditions affect your ability to carry out daily activity based on the PIP descriptors. Yes people claim PIP and work but if the work you do contradicts the reasons why you're claiming PIP then you could be refused.

It will be worth having a read of this to give yourself some understanding of the PIP descriptors and what they mean.

As above PIP is all about how your condition affects your ability to do daily tasks like, cooking, eating, communicating, washing, dressing, finances , mobility and so on
