    Hi,
    PIP isn’t about a diagnosis. What matters is how your conditions affect you against the 12 PIP activities.
    You must also be aged between 16 and state pension. 
    This may help https://pipinfo.net/
    A claim can take anything up to 10 months, sometimes longer.

    I can't do nothing for myself anymore, had to give up work through my condition. I need full time care now. Thanks for that.

    It’s also not about being unable to work.

    Hello @Scottish_lass and welcome to the community :) Thanks for sharing a bit about yourself, and for your query.

    Citizens Advice has information on PIP which you might find useful, it explains how to check if you're eligible as well as how to make an application. 

    If there's anything else we can help out with, please let us know.
