Hi! Has anyone been accepted for pip with depression, anxiety or urinary incontinence? How did you get it? Do you have to be on meds to get pip for these conditions?

Hi Pip isn't awarded for a condition(s) but for the care and/or mobility issues you have when compared to the descriptors, have a look at this:

I prefer this page in terms of explanations.

Whilst I agree that the PIP test should always be done with caution, they are two of the same thing Mike.Be extra nice to new members.

It’s a fine line I agree but I’ve found that people don’t see, read or understand the bold on the self-test and don’t understand it as meaning “reliably” whereas on the other page I can direct them straight to the section on “reliably” and more get it than don’t.The practical consequence, although to be fair I’d argue this applies to all such tests, is that I’ve never yet met anyone who has done a self test and come within 5 points of what they’d actually score whether under or over estimating.
