Hi I was just wondering how other autistic adults have found the PIP experience? Has anyone been successful in getting PIP? How did you explain your struggles? I got my decision today and they said I don’t qualify. Any help would be appreciated thank you
There is one big problem with all these discretionary awards such as PIP. The money does not go to the people who need it but to the people who make the best case for needing it. Unfortunately the people who really need the money are not capable of making a good case.
So true Robert124. Like many other aspects of our medical care it's a "box ticking excercise!".
i actually didn't claim benefits at one point in my life when i was too ill to claim and definitely would have qualified and only claimed benefits (successfully) when i had recovered and arguably no longer qualified.
I agree cos I’ve never been able to put into words how I feel and how I experience different things cos it’s all so hard to explain.
