I am not receiving PIP (after being kicked off the register because I have a job and travel) and currently looking to reapply which I have been obsessing about uncontrollably.
I am not living independently (still living with parents) and my parents are talking about moving house; I am really not happy about this and I go straight into meltdown whenever they talk about it. I cannot survive without my work commute and autism social club. If I move and have to get another job or attend another social club, it would be an absolute nightmare!
My parents have talked about supported living or social housing for me over the last couple of years. I am not happy that I am not receiving PIP. I masked in the assessment because the assessor was so judgemental. I did receive PIP in the end but was kicked off the register during the first covid lockdown because I masked in the assesment; especially when I don't understand what they are asking (which is also what have gone wrong). Sometimes I don't understand or I deny I may struggle to live independently (such as cooking, basic health and safety, agoraphobia, meltdowns, paying bills and rent etc...). I really feel it's my fault.
I went to special school up (from year 7 to college years) where in college years they said they'll teach independent living and managing finances. I really struggled to understand finances and the teachers were not qualified special education teachers so they would gaslight and ab*s£ me when I don't have the mental capacity to understand what I was being taught. I even cry about it sometimes.
Any advice and guidance on supported living or social housing would be good.
