I landed on your site because I was looking for answers to applying for PIP and I don't actually belong here because I don't have Scope problems; I don't want to waste your time but your site did provide me with a couple of answers, so I thank you.

And you really opened my eyes to your problems with money matters. So I would like to keep an eye on this website.0

It sounds really positive to hear that we were able to help you with applying for PIP and money matters @GilliEm. Your positive feedback is really appreciated.
You have mentioned not having “Scope problems”. Would you feel comfortable sharing a little more with us about what you mean by this?

All I meant was I don't have cerebral palsy but found Scope accidentally when asking for information about PIP (incidentally I still have not heard about my claim but know that it has been passed on to the relevant body that makes decisions). I have developed partial hearing loss in the last few years and have spinal problems due to a couple of bad falls, and have DuPuytrens Contracture of both my hands (for which I am awaiting an operation). I have no idea whether I would get PIP help for any of this.0

PIP isn't awarded based on any diagnosis. It's how those conditions affect you against the 12 PIP activities.

Welcome to the community @GilliEm
Scope is now a pan-disability charity, so we work with people with a range of conditions, impairments, and experiences.
As poppy123456 has explained, PIP isn't awarded based on a diagnosis. It's based on how your conditions affect you, in line with the PIP descriptors (pipinfo.net). Perhaps you could take a look through the descriptors, and see whether any of them apply to you?0
