    Hello benidormqueen and welcome

    DLA and PIP use different criteria for an award. PIP is based on functionality and the help you need with daily living and mobility.
    It is very hard to try and second guess the outcome of any assessment

    Hi @benidormqueen2010, and welcome! As has been said, it's very difficult to predict these things, but do keep us updated and let us know how you get on.

    It also depends on the assessor. Mine had to ask me what one of mine conditions was. I'm also not entirely sure she understood the rest. And there was the assumption I'd chosen not to drive.
