Purely for her good mental health and state of mind. Will having no medical evidence adversely impact on PIP appeal. She was awarded Standard daily Living and nil mobility.

Welcome to the forum, you might want to have a look at the following FAQ which explain where everything is
Welcome to Benefits and Work
In case you are not aware, your real name appears to be showing in the forum, if you want to change this then follow the instructions in the following FAQ
My full name is showing, how can I stop it?
It won't help but conversely it may not be a hindrance either.
I assume that your MS is a diagnosed condition and that you have or can obtain documentation to support this.
PIP is not so much about the condition but the limitations that result from it, most claimants struggle to provide medical evidence that directly relates to the PIP assessment criteria, also a lot of claimants have been "parked" by the NHS and do not have up to date evidence, so you are not alone in this.
The only real negative is that the DWP can assess you on the basis of your taking medication for your conditions so you need explain in detail why you have opted to take any.
Have a look at our PIP Claim guide for details of the assessment criteria and help in completing the form.
