Hi all, just curious to know who claims PIP for their mental health and what kind of evidence did you use?

When I claimed I used my local IAPT therapies letter and a diagnosis letter from neurologist for my non epileptic attack disorder. 

I have been told that unless you have a diagnosis and proof from a psychiatrist etc that it’s hard to get otherwise…

I feel confused by that statement

That's simply not correct at all. I think maybe you should try to distract your mind from all of this and try to focus on something else.
