Rejected by PIP

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

  • Go to Citizens Advice and any advocacy groups in your area. My friend was denied PIP right up until it was being considered for tribunal and then suddenly it was fine and she was absolutely eligible. I would agree with the others that there is at least an element of them wanting to refuse people whether they fit or not. Appeal and appeal and get support from everyone you can because they will probably give in eventually.
