    Hi,
    PIP isn't awarded based on any diagnosis. What matters is how your conditions affect you against the 12 PIP activities. See link for lots of information. https://pipinfo.net/

    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.

    Hello @Jinder. Welcome to Scope's forum. It is great to see you have joined us. How are you today?

    Thanks for reaching out to us. I can see @poppy123456 has already provided you with some practical advice. 

    In terms of responding to the second part, dyslexia is indeed considered a learning difficulty (but not a disability, which is slightly different). For more information, please see the British Dyslexia Association.

    Would you like to tell us a little more about what makes you intrigued today? We are all here for you if you would like to share more with us  :)

    A warm welcome to the community from me too @jinder :) I was just wondering whether you'd had a chance to take a look at the PIP descriptors yet?
