Hi Folks, I am an 29 year old male who has Aspergers. I've had PIP in the past, but I was taken off of it in 2019, and due to family circumstances, including a death in the family, I never chased it. I've recived the forms and I'm getting help from CAB to fill them in. I don't have a lot in the way of evidence but I do have a diagnosis, I have IBS and Anxiety/Depression.
Should I bother and write how it affects me? Because I don't have a ton of evidence.
I've been considering PIP myself. I was in DLA up until I was 16 when they informed me I couldn't claim it unless I followed up with PIP.
Just recently I've been plagued with a plethora of medical ailments, Blepharitis, Contact Dermatitis, Eczema to name a few, and the funding of treatment is eating through my budget.
Whilst I know this doesn't make a difference to a claim, what I can safely say is that I was diagnosed, or statemented if you will, by Maudsley Hospital, one of the best in this country.
I have troubles reading properly, I have a great deal of anxiety when it comes to socialising, having to attend social events, along with the ability to understand effectively without somebody needing to clarify it for me.
Does anyone know how to get a hold of the PIP claimant forms at all? I've looked everywhere and haven't had much luck
i believe you do it online these days like most things.if you google it youd likely find a government website for it which has alot of description and writing along with buttons to make claims and links to claim calculators of all sorts including what you can claim, anyway thered likely be a application button on the govs site for it somewhere.
I've just been up there, because of where I live, they can't do it online, I have to do it over the phone (which is not helpful at all) or on paper.
So it looks like the latter is my only option
