PIP Appeal HELP!!

Charlotte

 Hi everyone, I just got rejected from pip and I want to appeal but I’m so drained from the process already and I can’t do it alone. I literally got 0 points for everything I just don’t know where I have gone wrong. They just wrote on my letter that I said I struggle with all the criteria but they concluded I don’t. They didn’t even say why! Is there a way I can receive support for my appeal as I feel I am being discriminated against and because of my autism I don’t understand how to advocate for myself so it’s a viscous cycle. Any advice or useful contacts would be greatly appreciated!!!

  • I'm in the United States. Instead of PIP, we have social security. While I don't know what documentation you provided in your PIP application, I do know that in the United States, one of the biggest reasons for a rejection of social security disability payment application is because of insufficient documentation.

    Even though social security puts out guidelines for what documentation is needed, you'd be surprised at how many people don't follow the guidelines. Some people on redditt have complained that their application was rejected because they had a self-diagnosis of autism instead of a clinical diagnosis. They also complained that a letter from their parents or priest stating that they were unable to work was not the same as having a letter from a board certified therapist who said the same thing. What struck me as odd was how many people immediately submitted an appeal without having taken a single step to provide the required documentation. 

    I would imagine that PIP has guidelines regarding the applicaton process and what documentation is needed. Information about PIP may be found here. You may want to watch the PIP video and/or access the link for 'get help from citizens' advice.'
