PIP Confusion

Kvothe

Hello

I am currently on LCWRA formerly ESA and if these government changes get through we will all have to apply for PIP.

My question is is the assessment for LCWRA and PIP the same test with the same-ish questions.

I am asking as am thinking of applying for PIP at some point because well we will all have to eventually but i am worried that the test does not assess for someone of my needs.

I am able to survive off the LCWRA money that i get and need no mobility aids and all my needs are 'mental' so how does one pass a PIP assessment if you are physically functional.

Part of the Autism i have is i struggle to explain my world and how it affects me, when asked to explain about myself I go blank and cannot explain hat is happening (not sure if there is a name for this). I also will not have much supporting information as i rarely see my doctor.

What questions did people get points on? 

As i write this my mind has gone blank again so will leave it there.. unless something pops back

    Thank you yeah it helped

    Yeah i have contacted an agency that will help me but i am worried i will not be able to explain myself to them.. even on the phone today it took me 20 mins to ring them as my mind kept going blank..

    I was just looking on here for people that have applied and got PIP and what parts of their life is affected by their autism

  • I would highly advise you to complete any applications for PiP or LCWRA with the help of the Citizen advice bureaux CAB.

    I am lead to believe PiP and LCWRA are assessed by two completely separate agencies with different scoring systems.

    I have applied for both by myself and regretted it!

    I was not able to put across how my condition affects my day to day living and I am now faced with a daunting appeal process,

    hope this helps
