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

  • I don't know much but we have been through the pip system as my son has asd he basically is housebound his anxiety pretty much crippling.However he can be left to fix himself a meal he can wash himself etc ..my point is what even is high functioning anyway its all labels and we are all individuals you can't put us into boxes. I say this because every single person's case is very different and I would take your focus of the terms ie "high functioning" and instead go through the form which I know is awfully.. but go through and answer each question as best you can and then get someone you know and trust who has known you a long time to go through each question and double check it as there maybe thing you don't realise that you do that you are not putting down. For example a lot of the questions if my son were to answer them without me assisting he would not have mentioned half the issues he has.
