PIP

Unsure

So, this morning I had a long PIP assessment call to discuss all the medical stuff that has gone on. So now I cant help but keep thinking about it and that I wouldnt have got across the whole situation. I know its no use second guessing, I'm usually paranoid anyway without thinking how the way they ask might be portayed. I had previously applied unsucessfully with medical conditions before the asd diagnosis. They arent here to see the anxiety and fatigue that that alone has caused. I've worked 40 yrs and dont think I'm a fraud.

  • I got zero points at first, a few on mandatory reconsideration and then 11 at the tribunal when I appealed. Most appeals are overturned (as in the person claiming pip wins) because they have actual people that know about the condition on it. So always appeal.

    And remember, you count as not being able to do something if:

    You can't do it reliably/REPEATEDLY OR it takes longer than other people to do OR it causes you pain or overwhelming distress if you do it or might cause you this,  OR it is not safe to do. Eg you can socialise but it leaves you too anxious or exhausted to do anything else for days. Or you can travek but there's a chance you will not be able to get home if you have a meltdown
