    Hello @Un7even

    Welcome to the community, I hope you are well.

    Yes, I don't see why not. However it will depend on how the condition impacts your daily living and mobility, as PIP isn't awarded based on a diagnosis.

    Hi @Un7even - & welcome to the community. As Ross says, having a particular diagnosis doesn't mean you automatically qualify for PIP, as people with the same diagnosis will often be affected differently against the activities that are looked at with PIP.
    You might like to have a look at the following link, which shows where points may be awarded. Please see: https://www.cambridgeshire.gov.uk/asset-library/Personal-Independence-Payment-Descriptors-and-Scores-April-2021.pdf
    Please come back with any questions. :)
