Hi and welcome to the community
People work and still claim pip
Pip is awarded based in your functional ability to carry out the 12 descriptors
There is lots of useful information on here in the pip section you may find useful
If you think you qualify then it is worth applying if you get turned down you can appeal . You have nothing to lose by trying
