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
I am in the PIP system. I've sent in all my forms and letters and now waiting outcome. I have literally no clue on whether I've said the right things or not? I've just tried to be honest. I'm following this thread for more info.
if you are turned down at the initial stage ask for a mandatory review and if you are still turned down go to Tribunal. Your chances of being successful improve at each stage - maybe 1 in 4 at MR and 3 in 4 at Tribunal although obviously this does not mean you are guaranteed to be successful. The government / DWP count on people accepting the first answer they are given and giving up. The assessors and the assessment companies are in effect paid to turn down a high proportion of claims although the government and DWP will deny this.
I have emailed citizens advice and they said they will help me I just need to call them to prove my eligibility for PIP.
