Welcome to the community @merrylegs
Thanks for posting about this!
As I'm sure you're aware, 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).
Many people find it helpful to take a look through the descriptors, and think of a few real world examples to demonstrate the challenges you face in line with the relevant descriptors. Does that make sense?0
