    Hi there 

    Welcome to the community

    Yes anyone with a disability can claim have you had a look at our online benefits checker? It’s a handy tool which should be able to give you an idea of what benefits you may be entitled to. You can also find out more information about benefits on our website.  

    if you need anymore advice with this we are here to help

    Hi @shir, PIP isn't awarded based on a diagnosis of disability, it's based on how it affects you day-to-day. So do keep that in mind when making your application. If you have any other questions, please let us know!

    and it's not just how it affects you but how it is matched with the extremely narrow PIP descriptors.
