PIP Claim was Disallowed.

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.

  • Surely there are rules for people in authority when dealing with autism and they should have training of it. Seems to be not the case. I found this link and also the hidden impairments toolkit is something they should have knowledge of. 

    I also got turned down for pip and my decision was mostly like the ones in thus thread calling us all liars. I have not lied though, I have said it like it is. It's difficult enough fir us with asd to get by in life in general without being put through so many tests and questions that they know are difficult for us anyway. Bordering torture. 

    I have asked for a mandatory reconsideration but don't hold out much hope. Something needs doing. They need to abide by this here maybe
