PIP Claim was Disallowed.

Delighted

Hello, I am new to this forum and wanting some advice and support.

About me...I am 26 years old male with Asperger syndrome, I suffer from Depression, Asthma, High Blood Presssure, Anxiety, OCD.

After having my PIP assessment with Capita, she typed my medical information onto her computer and then off she went. I called PIP for an update with my claim and she told me that it was Disallowed. And, I have asked for a re-considilation.

I am in a stage where I just wished I am dead. I hate this life that I am living and I do not have the energy or the motivation to challenege this decisison. I have given them all my medcial notes and I have asked them to contact my Psychiatrist to get the details of my mental illness and they did not bother! My Psychartrist could not give them my information as the system been changed and written information from them would be requierd. Since, they did not contact them base on my mental illness then it would be there fault! Anyway, My GP covering letter does note that I am depressed, mental health history, depression medication, panic attacks / social anxiety and will need an aid of a family member to escourt me out as I feel unsafe. I cannot read people and understand their facial expressions.

I am on DLA lower rate...both care and mobility!

At the moment, I just want to overdose myself...I given them all the information and why did they refuse me. Now, my depresion is getting more worse.

  • I totally understand how you are feeling and they do make life more complicated than it acutally should be!

    My assessor has no medical knowleadge and as I questioned her background the responce was "DWP has certified me to do assessments" and I knew then that she must have some basic qualification rather than academic qualfication.  So, An assessor carrying our an in-correct assessment and they consent it and send it to DWP for assessing it.   And, I personally feel that it will be some sort of a crime should I say when the assessor(s) are carrying false information and submiting it as how they want it to be.

    From my understanding, the assessor role is to gather evidence for the DWP to decide. And, I rang CAPITA twice and they confirmed that their assessors sends a report and scoring questionnaire to DWP and DWP then makes a decision. In other words, both DWP and Capita awards points.  The question is, why should CAPITA makes their own decision on what the climant should be awarded.

    On the bright side, I contacted a solictor for advice and was said that Autism is genetics condition and requires support on daily basis and PIP should accept it and  to award them.
