Has anyone successfully applied for PIP?

I’m trying to but only attempted to start the process today, it was futile though as both DWP and Citz Adv will only communicate with me via phone calls which I find hugely difficult and triggering, often I completely refuse to talk to anyone on the phone and never answer withheld numbers and rarely numbers my contacts lists I doesn’t  recognise. My partner made further attempts on my behalf too later but that was also futile. We will try again maybe tomorrow.

You can find all the advice you need I would say online. Detailed advice about all the categories and how autism issues apply to each category. It’s only when you really start digging into each category that it becomes so apparent what is relevant. It is intimidating, time consuming and difficult. However if you think you really do qualify - having done your research to check you really might - I’d say at least try. It’s quite a hostile system though - and we found just engaging with it is stressful and takes its toll. However they want to put people off by making it difficult - so we mustn’t let them do that to us - we have to at least try and get the support we need and are entitled to. Having the PIP helps my son to be able to have some of the things he really needs, and that make his life better. It really makes a difference to his quality of life. I am very aware that he was very fortunate to be awarded pip - so many people who should get it don’t. The system is pretty awful.
