PIP Question

pietro_21

Has anyone applied for pip and been refused, to find things discussed by the assessor were left out of their decision?  I am just wondering if automatic refusal is the norm for anyone. Do they not recognise sensory disability or autism as a disability at all?

  • My first attempt at PIP was six years ago. I got zero points. I asked for a mandatory reconsideration,  I still got zero points.

    The report on me made explicit reference that I was well groomed, calm and showed no aggression.   

    They ignore Autusm diagnosis,  they look at how well or how badly you manage in your daily life and what help you need.

    I applied again a month ago and I'm still waiting for my assessment.   This time i will go scruffy,  unshaven and show myself at my worst.  In my application I included as evidence a copy of my previous employers' report dismissing me because of my many autistic traits and behaviour.

    8 weeks, then a further15 weeks for the review is a really long time to wait.
