PIP for high functioning autism’s

NAS76530

I just wonder if anyone has had an success applying and being rewarded for PIP for high functioning autism 

I suffer from anxiety which makes it very difficult going to shops and especially going to places I don’t know or involve travelling through busy places 

Dont even get me started the difficulties I have with dentist , hairdresser, GP appointments , etc .

I could be here all night explain how hard life can be with anxiety and autism- but I wonder if it’s enough to be rewarded pip 

But I do work , single mum and studying towards a degree with OU 

tomorrow I have a phone assessment and I starting to wonder if it a mistake going down this route applying for PIP

  • Thanks for this question and the replies, I too am stressing out about this, as just started the process, and though I probably have so much past proof of MH stuff etc I am not sure I have super recent stuff, but only as I cant be bothered talking to my doctor about things that are just 'life things' now (why would I tell my doctor I don't go out on my own, I am ok if my partner or parents are with me so what would they do about it, or if I can't really eat on my own or make decisions or forget to take meds, doctors have enough to deal with, this stuff sounds boring!)
