Hi @GaryCullen20 - Welcome to the community & thank you for joining. Just to say PIP is more about your functionality rather than any disorder/diagnosis. If you consider, 2 people with the same disorder might find it affects them differently in their daily lives. If you apply, the booklet you receive is called 'How your disability affects you,' so it would all depend on this.There's some info here on Scope which may be helpful in explaining. See: https://www.scope.org.uk/advice-and-support/benefits/personal-independence-payment/& from Citizens Advice: https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/benefits/sick-or-disabled-people-and-carers/pip/help-with-your-claim/fill-in-form/Please do say if you have any other questions.
