    Hi @UrbanPigeon - & welcome to the community from me also. PIP is not about any diagnoses rather how your disability is affected attempting/doing some activities of daily living &/mobilising. Reading about these activities/descriptors is a good place to begin: https://www.cambridgeshire.gov.uk/asset-library/personal-independence-payment-descriptors-and-scores-april-2022.pdf

    Hello Chiarieds and Thank You for welcoming me and your advice. Unfortunately I have had some experience with PIP before which did not turn out so well, so I do know the basics of the form filling. I am just spending time on the forum to pick up some helpful hints and tips to prevent any further mistakes. The unfortunate experiences I had to go through while making the previous claim has left me anxious about claiming again but sadly I dont seem to have much choice but to claim PIP. Thank you for your kind help.

    Thank You L_Volunteer for advice and welcome. Not really looking for any particular help just mainly reading through the forum for any tips there may be. However I will ask if there is anything in particular I would like to know. Thank You :)
