PIP O points

I know PIP is not a given and I know there are people worse than me but I have jesus been turned down flat for Pip , In a nutshell  according to DWP I am too intelligent , too cognitive, too insightful and gave eye contact also I speak well and have a good memory .

I have asked for a mandatory reconsideration .

I did sent in my Autism Assessment diagnosis

  • I had the same results and they wouldn't let it go to a tribunal either and yet the authorities can discriminate against us as people, lock us in asylums and we can also loose our jobs as I did.  So next time I am interviewed for PIP, teddy will accompany me.  I was told exactly the same thing that 'I am too high functioning to get PIP but can get ESA support... 

  • I appreciate how you/we feel.

    I've often been told that my behaviour, speech and body language makes me unemployable.

    But when I tried to apply for ESA and PIP.  The advisors laughed in my face and said I didn't stand a chance in getting either.

  • Oh Robert I had a job until diagnosis as a teaching assistant and had held down other jobs with difficulty over the last four decades of my life.  However this all changed with a label of autism and this year as a fifty two year old woman have come through a crisis with very little support from any organisation except the RVS.  Citizens advice were unhelpful, Community Action Leicester dint want to know etc. I have never felt more isolated and lonely except for family, friends and a lovely former student from the school where I worked.  She's a volunteer and I am helping her to find work as she supports me.
