    Hello @poppy5411

    Welcome to the community, it's nice to see you join us and I hope you are well.

    Whether your PIP claim would be successful or not is mainly about how those conditions impact you against the PIP descriptors which you can read here. Of course a diagnosis might suggest what challenges you face on a typical day but each person will be affected differently. 

    In terms of your work, you can claim PIP and it won't be impacted at all by your work because it isn't means tested. Unless the work you do contradicts the reasons for which you will be claiming.

    I have moved your discussion over to our PIP category which you might find it helpful to browse for other discussions. 
     

    I hope to see you getting involved more around the community. This is a very supportive and welcoming site to be a part of so I’m hopeful that you’ll find it to be a positive outlet. Feel free to have a look around and get involved wherever you’d like 😊 A few notable pages I’d recommend visiting would be:

    • The virtual coffee lounge which is one of our categories, in which we play games and talk about general subjects such as hobbies and interests
    • The recent discussions page, which shows an overview of everything happening across the community
    • The categories page, which shows a full list of discussion groups on the community

    If you have any questions at all then don’t hesitate to ask.
