Hi,Being found to have LCWRA has no affect on a PIP claim. No one here can tell you whether a claim for PIP will be successful because no one here knows exactly how your conditions affect you.PIP and LCWRA are 2 completely different benefits, with totally different criteria. 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.Having some understanding of the criteria and what the descriptors mean will help. Have a read of this.If you do apply be aware that backlogs are huge and estimated timescale from start to finish is about 10 months.
I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help. -
Thank-you

You won't score points for any diagnosis because that's not what PIP is about.

I'm not saying I want to.score more points, I've been told I should apply dueto difficulties re daily life

If that’s the case then you need to call them up and start the process off.Remember, PIP is a functional assessment and has nothing to do with conditions or diagnosis.You need to give at least 2 real world examples in as much detail as you can about what happened when you attempted each activity described in the descriptors that are applicable to you.Please bear in mind too that evidence should be relevant.LCWRA is completely separate to PIP.
