Unfortunately , there is no way that we can look at an individual claim and state with surety how it will be transferred to PIP, whilst the criteria are similar there are differences and the scoring system is completely different.
You should not take this to mean that you will not qualify, it is just that the two benefits are different and we have still not seen any results for the initial claims for PIP so have no "benchmark" to review against.
There is a self-test for PIP
www.benefitsandwork.co.uk/personal-independence-payment-pip
We recommend you mark yourself strictly.
There is also a PIP claim guide which allow you to get a more detailed feeling for how you might qualify

In addition to Gordon's advice see What is Crohn's Disease
This is in the DWP A-Z of medical conditions, and used by DWP Decision Makers and Medical Assessors to help them to identify any care and mobility needs. You can see this on the link on the left side of the web site link above.
Hope this helps.
