    Hi,

    Other than PIP, which isn't means tested then claiming any other benefits totally depends on your circumstances. With no information it's impossible to answer your question.

    You need to speak to an advice centre near you, like CAB for a full benefits check.

    For PIP, it's not about a diagnosis, it's how those conditions affect your ability to carry out daily activities based on the PIP descriptors. Evidence will be needed to support a claim and a face to face assessment is most like needed.
