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!)

    bring your parents 100% .... make it look like your parents control every decision of your life and you are dependant on them still, that should get you some points as its generally the thing they looking for and the thing that shows you cannot really stand on your own feet lol

    I’m in two minds about this one - I’ve always lived by the truth and have been totally honest, never following the herd and I’ve always lost out, then I’ve seen other groups getting everything after faking it and pulling off all manner of scams - I’m beginning to wonder if we should start doing the same to get what we should be entitled to
