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.

That’s not true. You’re already claiming PIP anyway.0

Good luck with your review @bluefox. I can hear how you are dreading it.
Is there anything, in particular, that might make it more manageable for you at the moment?
It sounds really positive that you have plenty of evidence, including having a mental health coach soon.
Please don't hesitate to let us know if there's anything else we can do to support you. We are all here for you and listening to you0 -
Unfortunately I do have mental health but I have other disabilities as well so sorry I can't help.0
