Post ASD Diagnosis and Benefits Applications advice.

I used these quite a bit for my PIP application, one of them is geared towards supporting those autism and other conditions.

Do you mind me asking, I assume you are receiving PIPS, if so is it difficult to qualify with ASD to get PIPS.

I am anxious I won't be accepted because I have no real physical issue's apart from my IBS

Thanks Again.

I did get a PIP renewal form sent to me in around July 2024. I followed the forms advice I linked to and sent the forms away. I sent medical evidence that I had from my GP to and this included any letters about my conditions a photocopy. You have to write your national insurance number and case reference on each page of letter. I didn't use the forms. I sent in A4 paper and copied the questions as I found it easier and printed it all out. They said I could do this. I had other conditions at that point. I had very severe anorexia then to and complications which was chronic.

You had anxiety and other conditions and should note to and send evidence about them. Although you may be diagnosed with autism you still can have the anxiety with it, so you should note it.

Thank you for this, much appreciated. I have been asked by a social worker I met at a NAS start up hub in my area and she said I should speak to her about support as well.  I am assume she can also help with PIPS forms.

Thanks
