newly diagnosed with autism

Yes maybe it's harder for someone young like he is.but the specialist who diagnosed him said he can get pip so i just told him to try and if he doesn't get it then he doesn't get it,

Thank you

Hello NAS93634

As a starting point, you may wish to read over our information on benefits: https://www.autism.org.uk/advice-and-guidance/topics/benefits-and-money/benefits
 
You can also find more information on benefits through the Citizen’s Advice website: https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/benefits/

It can be helpful to get support to complete application forms for benefits such as PIP from experienced benefits advisors as they can help your son get what he is entitled to. 

Kind regards

you can do a example test for it online somewhere.... i think on the govs site.... forgot how i got to it, think i googled pip eligability and it likely went to a gov site or something and it had example questions and points for each one, it gives you a immediate answer as to whether you cant get pip... for me it was a no, to get most points you seemingly have to answer that you need assistance to go out or go to the toilet lol which yeah that isnt autism.... it seems more based around... i dunno, old age problems if anything.
