    Hi and welcome to the community 

    Lots of people claim for seizures but it depends on how they affect you and frequency and warning signs etc 

    Pip isn't awarded based on a condition or diagnosis but how you are affected against the descriptors

    Hi @mickystudd :) As janer1967 has said, PIP is awarded based on how your condition/s affect you, rather than what diagnosis you have. 

    To see whether you might be eligible, I'd encourage you to read through the PIP descriptors (pipinfo.net), and see whether any of them apply to you.
