The assessors do not need to have any knowledge of any medical conditions because PIP isn't awarded based on a diagnosis. It's the claimants responsibility to fully explain exactly how those conditions affect you.

Another reason why putting as much information on the form is also important. (without telling your life story) The more you leave off the form, the more questions they have to ask you.

All you can do now is wait for the decision which can be between 2-12 weeks from when the report is returned to DWP. Impossible to speculate anything at this point.
