Rejected by PIP

over 2 years ago
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

    I too scored 0 points a few years ago, I went for a mandatory reconsideration with the help of a social worker, got a few points but not enough. I’ve just applied again so hoping I get it this time but it’s so hard to get. Do not give up, keep going, keep your faith and you will get there. All the best.

    The problem is (well - there are LOTS of problems of course!) - ONE of the problems is that the stress of an appeal etc can really take a toll on your mental health. So I would take good advice before you  start on an appeal if you feel you might struggle to cope with going to war with the system. It’s designed to put people off of course. It’s criminal in my view. 
    So try to do your research, get lots of advice and take care of yourself. I’m sorry - the system is cruel and unfair.

    thats so true. I feel like the whole system is designed to be so unbearable and stressful so as to force you back to work even if you arent well enough rather than go through it 

    if that makes sense
