Rejected by PIP

Billy87
Got rejected by PIP Friday. Got 0 on everhthing even though I’m autistic and some days can’t even get out of bed or leave the house without full on meltdowns and panic attacks. Didn’t get a single point
Also he said cos I’m well enough to sit by the river and feed the ducks im well enough to work full time. He also said that the fact I could hold a coherent phone convo with the assessor proves there is nothing wrong with me mentally. Worst of all he said I “do not have severe stress travelling to work” even though i told the assessor I once tried to jump out of a moving car rather than go to work due to my anxiety. If that doesn’t count as severe stress I don’t know what does!

I dont know where to turn or what to do for help

  • My advice would be to get in touch with Citizens Advice a.s.a.p. and request an appointment with one of their Welfare Rights officers. I was in a similar situation to you back in 2019 (my first time applying for PIP) and also scored 0 points. After a Welfare Rights officer from CAB got involved and sent a letter on my behalf, my application was looked at again and I was then awarded PIP.
