Hi, sorry if I am posting in the wrong place I am new here I have suffered from anxiety for a few years now and recently it has gone worse I was wondering if it is worth applying for PIP? Do they award it for anxiety and panic disorders ? Any experiences?

Hi @nehak123 - PIP isn't awarded due to a diagnosis, rather if you face problems with certain activities/descriptors that are looked at with PIP. This is not to say that someone with your problems may not be awarded; it will all depend on the difficulties you face. So, have a look here first:
