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

    Sorry to hear this. Like others have said PIP is based on a strict set of criteria. I have numerous qualifications and work 4 days a week as a teacher but I still receive enhanced rate daily living as being autistic severely impacts on my life in a number of ways.

    If you feel you meet the criteria, do you have independent  examples of this that can support your application, such as GP notes, Access to Work reports etc? I believe that sending this evidence has been the key to my successful claims. As per the example below when filling out the form I state how I meet the criteria then highlight where the relevant evidence can be found

    Communicating verbally

    As an autistic individual, I struggle immensely with communicating verbally. Firstly, I have an overwhelming fear of phones and will not answer unless I know what the call is about. Due to this, I do not plug in my phone at work and use email instead, as demonstrated in the email from xxx on the 3rd September 2018. Secondly,xxx

    The email on the 3rd septwas from a colleague explaining how she knows 'I don't do phones' so did I want my email putting on a staff contacts list instead

    Well unless you know the system really well, it's hard to be successful without support.  I did everything you suggested, even showed them my medical reports and tablets.  People were fond of saying wait until the tribunal but it didn't even get that far and when I asked for support, people either were too busy, not bothered or even rude.  So I just carried on regardless without much support.  However I did get ESA due to the fact I had been to A & E with raised liver functions, stress and had both Coeliac disease and incontinence.
