Hi 1963
If you go to your local Citizens Advice Bureau they have the criteria for claiming PIP and ESA , would tell you if it was worth it and would help you fill in the forms as they have to be done in a certain way to maximise chances of success. Hope I've helped?Good luckX
It's not based on the illness it's self it's based on how you cope daily with personal care and mobility I've been awarded both but still no diagnosis xx
I would suggest having a look at the Citizens Advice webpage. I've given the link below. It's relatively simple to follow the links in the page and you can get the criteria in detail.
All the best.
