Hi @Nicolekobie, and welcome!

@BOBFR has discussed meningoencephalitis on the community in the past, you can see that discussion here. Would you like to tell us some more about your experiences?

PIP is based on how your condition affects you, rather than your specific diagnosis. Do you have an assessment date yet? We'll be wishing you all the best with it, and do feel free to keep us updated.
