Hi @laucorfu - despite any condition/disability, PIP isn't about any diagnosis, but rather how any disability may affect your ability to reliably do certain activities of daily living &/mobility. It would be worth looking through the activities/descriptors first to see if for example you have difficulty with dressing, bathing, or preparing a simple meal. Please see: https://www.cambridgeshire.gov.uk/asset-library/Personal-Independence-Payment-Descriptors-and-Scores-April-2021.pdf

Might also be worth seeing if you can get help from CAB or welfare rights.2024 The year of the general election...the time for change is coming 💡
