Hi,PIP isn't awarded based on any diagnosis, it's how those conditions affect your ability to carry out daily activity based on the PIP descriptors. It's also not about being unable to work, people claim PIP and work.Have a read of this, it will give you a little more understanding of the descriptors and criteria. https://pipinfo.net/It successful claim can potentially take about 10 months.

Hi and welcome to the community
If as you say non of the descriptors apply to you then you won't be eligible to pip
Pip is a benefit to help people with physical or mental disabilities which impact on their daily living and mobility
Apart from financial support do you have support from family and friends and your gp0 -
There are some people that have a disability but don't qualify for PIP because if you don't meet the descriptors, you won't score the points needed for an award.However, there are also a lot of people that don't understand the descriptors and what they mean so they think they won't score any points but this may not be true, if you had a little understanding and perhaps take some time to do some research.If you can't do this then get some expert advice from an agency near you and they will tell you whether you can score enough points for an award.

Hi @suzieq62 to help us support you I've moved your post into our PIP category, and changed the title a little.
