  PIP is a benefit to help you with your daily living activities. It is not awarded on a diagnosis or illness or the amount of prescription drugs you are taking, but how you cope manage your daily living activities and mobility issues in relation to the PIP descriptiors. So take a self test and see how you fare and read the descriptors and see how you fit in the scheme of the descriptiors.
