I got refused pip and given a grand total of 2 points! I figured they would screw me over but shocked that they completely ignored my autism report which clearly detailed issues I have let alone contemplate points for food issues I have with my IBS or my anxiety. They literally wrote the opposite of what the report says! Depressing though it is I'll ask for mandatory reconsideration but what should I include? I didn't get a doctors letter as I'm new to the surgery and don't go that much but got an appointment next week. I tried calling dwp for my assessment getting sent out but systems are down at the moment. What annoys me most is I got a paper assessment, how on earth can they score 2 points without asking me anything and ignoring what I wrote and the assessment I included??
Dont give up. I wasnt diagnosed with Autism when I claimed a few years back but when I did a MR they adjusted it to qualify. I dont know whether to reclaiim now I have my autism diagnosis however I am too scared of getting less points even thought my health has changed significantly. I got help from the CAB to help gather evidence and so on. It helps to know someone else had my back.
