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 was awarded PIP this year, before the mental health team referred me for an ASD diagnosis. Although I have prior conditions, I had no real evidence, as I am only on waiting lists to see specialist consultants and my terrible doctors surgery didn't respond to the DWP request for information. In my case, the CAB's help consisted of a 15 minute phone call to tell me what I already knew.
The PIP application is a traumatic experience for me, as I only survive in life by actively starting each day with a glass half full outlook. PIP requires the exact opposite.
I wish you the very best of luck, you deserve it.
Thank you so much I’m so sorry I missed your reply I will have a look now.
