hi im new to this site and just hoping that someone can help me.  my daughter has had aspergers since birth and has received dla all of her life, with me being her  registered appointee and now following her pip assessment they have said she has scored 0 for every single question and is not entitled to anything at all!!! what am i suppose to do? how can they do this to people? she cant go out anywhere on her own, look after her own money, cook for herself or socialise, yet they are saying she can do all of it!! i really am confused and just dont know what to do. i just cant stop crying. why do pip think its okay to treat people like this? aspergers is not something you grow out of, so why stop my daughters benefits!!!

  • Read the last page of the benefit refusal letter - WHAT TO DO IF YOU THINK THE DECISION IS WRONG; and go for the MANDATORY RECONSIDERATION option as your first step - towards perhaps if refused again the legal appeal route. It might well be usefull to ask - as you are entitled to do - for a full copy of the written documentation, including the face to face assesment record, as led to the current decision.

    You can also telephone the NAS (0808 800 4104) and go for option 3.) To make an appointment with a specialist advisor on benefits, etc.
