Hi @Smartylisajay73 welcome to the community.
You can try the PIP self test here to see if you could be entitled to PIP, or the benefits calculator.
I'm sorry, I'm not sure what PE is. PIP is less about the actual impairment and more about how that impairment affects you and how you live.Scope

@sam_scope is right in thinking that PIP is not about what condition you suffer from, but the level to which that condition inhibits you from performing some specified 'Daily Living' tasks.
Benefits and Work have a very handy PIP self-test that allows you to see whether it's worth a go https://www.benefitsandwork.co.uk/personal-independence-payment-pip/pip-self-test
Kind regards,
Mary
