HELP NEEDED 2 X PIP FORMS IN 2 WEEKS !

autism002

Hi

I have 2 children both autistic and I have a spinal injury and dyslexia.

I have recieved 2 PIP forms for both me and my son within 2 weeks of each other and I cannot cope. I am extemely anxious and upset .

My adult son was awarded a DLA lifetime award by the DWP tribunal.As well as a previous disability discrimination tribunal, SENDIST tribunal  and we have been to the high court regarding his education.

now we have to start again?

He was diagnoised by the lorna wing centre.The local council offer no autistic adult support.He has never worked and lives at home . He does not claim any other benefit becuase he gets extremley upset if you ask him questions regarding his autism. 

Do I have to keep proving his autism time and time again , its having an effect on my health , can anyone help us ?

  • There's a lot of talk currently about a passport system for hospitals whereby an individual's needs and issues (mental health, learning disability or autism) are set out in discussion with the patient.

    Thus everyone concerned with that patient reads the passport, and has what they need to know. The patient doesn't have to keep explaining themselves every time they encounter a health professional.

    I don't see why something similar cannot be developed for people seeking PIP or other help. Rather than repeatedly having to fill in forms and go to sessions with often inadequately informed strangers, surely it would be simpler to have a passport with the specifics and issues clearly set out?

    Of course Cameron is worried that there are people ripping off the benefit system. I do wonder if the numbers ripping off the system have fallen much, or been less successful. They will always find a way of beating the system.

    But beating up the weak and vulnerable seems to be all Cameron can manage.  The big companies dodging their tax bills, and the big benefits fraudsters are too big for him to tackle so he resorts to penalising the weak and vulnerable.

    Oh dear that's another posting they're going to suspend or edit......
