I applied for PIP 2 years ago while at the worst of my burnout and almost unable to leave the house. Because I told them I was able to leave the house a few days a week just to feed the ducks down the road at the river they said that proved I was fit to go to work. The government wants to win the election by turning people against the most vulnerable in society and making idiots vote for them based on that. PIP is a lifesaver as are fit notes from the doctor. The rich Torys in the government dont care about autistic people at all
Having said all that, I know NT people who are playing the system. I even knew someone who managed to get PIP by claiming she couldnt leave the house due to her legs not working despite living a full life of parties, pub dinners and socialising on the taxpayers dollar. it made me very angry because I thought of all the people like me and others on here who were denied PIP just for the crime of being honest about our condition. Sadly, decent people get screwed over by the system while dishonest people make a profit out of it. We are too honest for our own good but I wouldnt want to be anything else
