Hi @Sabu28.
Welcome to the community!
Anyone can apply for PIP. The forms ask about the difficulties you experience in various aspects of your life. You can apply for it with or without a diagnosis. You would be able to describe your symptoms as something like "Generalised widespread pain" where it asks for diagnosis. They also ask you to list any specialists you are under or any therapies you receive. You would be able to mention the Neurologist and the physiotherapy etc.
Have a look at this website for more info. Hope this helps a little.
