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

  • They make up reasons not to give you anything. I have it from some of the professionals that if you say you need a material aide, say a stair lift they kind of can't deny that, but if the need is 'invisible' it's practically impossible to get.

    This is what happens when govt contracts private companies to do the work. We pay them mega bucks to give people nothing. Appeal, though. Apparently, 2/3rds are successful. They are putting people with genuine need through the torture mill for nothing...but putting public money in the company's coffers that they could have spent supporting people who needed it in the first place.

  • I actually stated on my PIP application that I use a hearing aide in my right ear and they denied it, twice. Was only on the tribunal it was granted.
