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

    I’m sorry to hear this, though I did somewhat expect it. Not because you don’t need it, but because the person doing the e assessment usually knows nothing about autism, and isn’t going to listen anyway! They know to give you a big fat zero on your first try, it’s disgraceful.

    My daughter was given zero point too a few months back. She’s trying again with the help of CAB. I myself dare not even bother.
