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.

  • Hi Yorkshirelass,

    Thank you for reading my thread.

    In my PIP report, the DWP decision maker has made a decision based on the assumptions rather than facts that was presented to them, ie Medcial letters, precriptions etc confirming my illneses and providing contact details of medical professionals. They did not bother to get the facts! 

    DWP stated that

    " I have decided you can prepare and cook a simple meal unaided" False, I cannot cook

    " You displayed a good eye contact" False, with Autism it is very hard to make eye contact and I was looking at the floor during the assessment.

    " You demostrated a good cognition and memory"  This is a Psychologist job, the assessor cannot be in a postion to make this assessment.

    " You follow the news on your mobile phone and can do online banking, you can do bank transfers, and manage my own finances online unaided"  Assumptions without facts! I do not watch the news, I do not have an online banking so how can this be possible?

    "You do not appear to be low in mood or anxious"  How do they know what is going inside my head, I am taking anti-depressants and my Psychiatrist confirms this in writing. So, how did the DWP make a decision to say I do not appear to be in a low mood.

    " You can go shopping by yourself " False, I do not go alone outside let alone going shopping. My GP letter does confirm, he needs to have an Aid when going outside due to his Autism.

    There are more false statments that was made in my DWP form, also the assessor made bunch of lies and sent it to them.

    Good luck with your daughter claim, these PIP should be closed down we all should go back to DLA.
