Freshly diagnosed ... Now what?

Hello all

I've just been diagnosed as Autistic. It's been suspected for years but now its fully confirmed. So.. this might sound stupid but what now?

Do i get a diagnosis letter? Will this diagnosis help me with anything benefit related? Does this make PIP a permanent thing for me? Is autism recognised as a life long pip disability?

I'm not really sure what I'm asking here. I'm just not sure what to expect as the diagnosis was so stressful for me i never really thought about what happens after so feeling a bit lost.

Thanks for any advice

    to get pip you need to fill out a load of questions which are point based.

    to qualify for pip you have to answer highest based answer such as you need assistance to go outside and walk and cant go out or move without anyone and that you need someone to help you go to the toilet..

    so as you see, autism doesnt entirely qualify for pip, and yes to anyone reading this who have got it and answered wrong, the government is actually going to be testing your answers in the future so if you said you cant go out without help or without someone and have low mobility if you are photographed by the gov investigators out then they will make you pay as many years back as what you claimed. its best to stay safe.... i myself got stung by the gov wanting me to pay them back job seekers allowance after they found my grandmother left me some savings which put me over the benefit allowance for like 5 months or something and they really chased me on that and treated me like a criminal so i strongly advise anyone staying 100000% truthful and dont even try stretch the truth. even claiming you didnt understand the questions wont work with this system if they find a question has been stretched or answered incorrect, this system is brutal on chasing you lol
