HI,

PIP isn't awarded based on any diagnosis. It's how those conditions affect you against the PIP descriptors. Have you got some expert advice to check that you can score enough of points needed for an award? If you haven't then you should do this. Then if you qualify and the decision to refuse you was within the past 13 months then your next step is to request the Mandatory Reconsideration (MR)

For advice start here. https://advicelocal.uk/

See link for MR advice. https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/benefits/sick-or-disabled-people-and-carers/pip/appeals/mandatory-reconsideration/
