PIP refusal

Everything you write when you fill in the pip form has to be backed-up with medical evidence.
Supporting evidence is needed as we could all write write anything on the form.
They award points based on proof.

It doesn’t help before I only got diagnosed in April so hadn’t seen anyone about my autism until then cos I didn’t know I was autistic. So what medical evidence do you send in?

Only been a member of this community for a couple of days and not yet diagnosed but some of the stuff I read here really strikes a chord with me . I have had an issue with socialising/recognising people for as long as I can remember and I've never known why. I regularly don't recognise or notice people I know when I'm out and about and end up being ostricized as people think I am aloof/doing it intentionally. It has had a massive negative impact on my life.

Thank you I will go through it again it took me so long to fill in the form and I thought I had covered things but I can’t of. 

The pip application form has a list of questions asking you how your disabilities affect you in different situations.  You need to answer each one giving a relevant example and provide proof.  The big problem is the proof because often it's just your or other people's opinion.  And not hard medical evidence.  For example I have great difficulty recognising faces and telling people apart, a form of face blindness.  It causes great difficulty at work.  But I cannot prove it.

Due to being Autistic I have a fear of doctors and I don’t go and so they don’t know how I struggle cos I dont tell them. I have seen an Occupational Therapist so have a sensory assessment so would that be evidence I’m just so confused. 

The evidence they want is how your autism and other conditions affect your ability to function in normal life from a practical point of view.
