Hello Daryl @darylmenzies and a warm welcome to the community. I just wanted to let you know that your post has been received. A lot of our specialists will be off line at this time of evening but people will be in touch with you in due course.
Very glad to have you with us.

Hi @darylmenzies, and a warm welcome to the community!
Thanks for sharing this with us. PIP isn't awarded based on diagnoses, but how your conditions affect you day to day. Citizens Advice have some great online guidance on filling in the PIP form which you may like to read. Have a look, and do feel free to come back to us with any questions!
