Personal Independence Payment is a complete joke. You try and convey what is wrong and they don't listen. Scored 0 on all aspects.

Neurotypicals don't understand the difficulties neurodiverse individuals face. 

Absolutely unbelievable. 

I followed the advice on this website and others. 

What do I need to do to show people how an invisible disability affects me? 

It feels like I get brushed off as not suffering.

    Will they ever change so that neurodiverse individuals get the support they need?

    They will change, but probably to make it harder for us to access it.

    They most likely make the level of "need" to be so high that you don't qualify, even if you do struggle and would benefit from the payment.

    My thoughts are that there is a team within the organisation that monitors how much is being awarded, they project this agains what budget they have to give out and have to shift the sliding scale up to make sure they balance the books.

    It will be interesting to see if the new labour government are more lenient or continue with cuts in order to pay for things in other areas. They know there is little money to work with and may have to move the cash to pay for some of their manifesto promises.

    Sorry this didn't work out for you.
