Hi and welcome
Pip isnt about the condition it's about how it affects you
Lots of people have same conditions but are all affected differently
PIP is how you are affected in your daily living and mobility against the PIP descriptors -
Welcome to the community @Finnansmummy Did you have any particular questions? Why do you think you'll be turned down?

@Finnansmummy, Hello and welcome, claiming PIP is not based or awarded on a disability, or a diagnosis or the amount of prescription medications your taking. PIP is awarded on your abilities to preform the PIP activities/ descriptors in the application form safely, repeatedly, and in a timely manner. Have you taken a self test of the PIP descriptors. The Benefits and Works site has a free self test, but please be totally honest as any answers you submit in the application form will have to be justified at your phone or face to face assessment when they resume.
