Hi @lindsw welcome to the community! Do tou have a friend or family member that can speak on your behalf? You would need to give permission to enable them to speak for you. PIP is not based on the conditions you have but instead it is based on how your conditions affect your ability to carry out daily activities and your mobility. If you have any further questions then please let us know0

@jaja is right. Anyone can apply for PIP. You have to basically provide a ton of detail on your conditions. I recommend obtaining advice when completing the application form as the questions can be confusing. CAB have a useful information guide here worth reading.

Good luck! Make sure you understand each question and what they are asking for. Send photocopies of all evidence by recorded delivery along with the form. Get help with the process.
Do you have a social worker or not? My son’s amazing social worker helped me fill out the form. Let us know if you have other questions. Keep us updated as well.
