In that case Gordon you're a super hero!
I appreciate everything you do for me and everyone else on this forum. It can't be easy but you're always here for us in our times of desperate need. Thank you so munch for that.
It's just a shame you're kept so busy. xxx

I'm not entirely sure what you are asking
Not having a diagnosis or current treatment means does not mean that a claimant cannot receive an award, however, it will certainly make it more difficult, you may be able to overcome this with historical evidence of treatment but the argument is a lot weaker for a mental health problem than a physical one.
Specifically for the PIP activities, you do not need to be actually receiving prompting, assistance or supervision, to show a need for these but you will need to explain how you manage if you do not receive the help but are still able to complete the activities.
