I got put in the support group for 18 months yesterday. I'm shocked that they actually listened. It's the same stuff I've been telling pip for years and they kept saying "because you're employed you can't have these difficulties" . Well I was fired on health grounds in February , according to the dismissal letter I'm" not managing my autism diagnosis well " I only got it 6 months previously.
The process has taken 7 months and now I don't know what to do with myself. I have been in waiting mode all this time constantly concerned about what they were going to say and whether they were going to actually listen to me. Now the pressure is off I don't know what to do! '
I'm happy, I think, that they understood but have no idea how to go forward with life.
Would anyone like to share what they do without the burden of work (or searching for it) and without the flexibility of money to go places/buy things?

Lucky you.
I was fired from a job because of my 'difficulties' which were spelled out in detail in my dismissal letter, yet my pip application ignored everything and gave me zero points.
I do not understand what's wrong with pip assessors. Literally the only difference between the applications was I finally admitted to how violent and frequent my meltdowns are and have always been. I didn't admit it before because I was afraid of being sectioned they are that bad. My letter made it clear it was all my problem, as soon as I suspected autism I told them and they put me on performance review for communication issues. I've got a reconsideration in with pip now. I'm hoping the ESA result will swing in my favour.
