PIP application

mazzamchardy
over 6 years ago

My daughter has Aspergers or High Functioning autism as they call it now.  She is now 18 so can apply for PIP herself.  A previous application 2 years ago was tuned down despite an appeal. At that time she only got 6 points but they didn't understand that she finds travel confusing and gets stressed and anxious outside her comfort zone.  Comments like why doesnt she use Google maps is not very hepful : (   .What we desperately need is someone or an organisation to help us complete the form.  Unfortunately there is very little help in the Bromley area so happy to go anywhere within reason!  The Burgess Autistic trust helped before but we didn't get anywhere.  Grateful for any help / suggestions. Thank you.

    Hi mazzamchardy,

    Citizens Advice has a very detailed guide to filling in PIP claim forms on their website, which you can view here - https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/benefits/sick-or-disabled-people-and-carers/pip/help-with-your-claim/fill-in-form/

    It mentions at the bottom of the page that you if you need help in-person filling out the form that you can go to your local Citizens Advice Bureau and they should be able to help you.

    If you have any other questions or concerns that you want to talk to someone directly about you can call the NAS Helpline on 0808 800 4104 (10am-4pm Mon-Thur, 9am-3pm Fri).

    Best wishes,

    I expain how I did applieled t PIP. I was rather cheaky.

    Shortly after be diagnosed as someone with Autism I was told that could apply for PIP. I thought PIP was for people who couldn't walk etc.

    I hate forms they drive me nuts, manly because I hate to touch paper. So I phone up CAB and there was a 6 week wait to see them. Darn that long wait but I book it anyway. Then I had a brain wave I phoned up NAS to see if they could help me out. Getting through to NAS can be difficult but at least don't have listening to DWP on hold music.  It took a few times trying I got throw to someone at NAS. I could explain things to NAS and they just understood what I was saying and was able to translate my way of saying things in to DWP way. NAS sent me a copy of what need in the PIP form. Which I took an copy of that CAB that wrote it down for me. Sent it off.

    Wait months.
    So-called medical
    Wait few more months.

    DWP agree that should have PIP.



    For you delight and enjoyment the music that everyone loves as much going to dentest for root canal.
