Hi there and welcome 

Are you referring to pip ? 

It isnt about a condition it is about how your condition affects your daily living against the descriptors if you can or can't do the task if you need support or aids or just can't di them that score points

Hi @jack_cox - welcome to the community & thank you for joining. As Jane asks, was your assessment for PIP?

Welcome to the community from me too @jack_cox I've moved your post into our PIP category for now, as I've assumed that's the benefit you're referring to here. Please do let us know if you're referring to a different benefit.

As Janer1967 has mentioned, PIP is about how your conditions affect you rather than the diagnoses themselves. It would therefore be very difficult for us to say how many points you might have scored. Are you familiar with the PIP descriptors (pipinfo.net)? It's worth noting that you can ring the DWP after around 7 days to ask for a copy of the assessors report if you want to. This will indicate how many points the assessor has suggested you could be awarded. However, this isn't a guarantee of the award you'll actually receive.
