To not understand

[Harleyisme]

I don't get it what have i missed.
I got refused pip. I have autism and anxiety.
I have been refused on the grounds i have no cognitive or sensory diagnosis. My autism not mentioned. Also on the fact i (at the time i am now on medication sarted a month ago) don't take medication for my anxiety and that cbt will sort my anxiety out.

Now i thought it wasn't about diagnosis ot was about how it affects you day to day which i dis also send them my autism assesment. You can't actually get diagnosed with autism with out it affecting your daily life.
Funny thing is i wasn't on medication as i was to anxious to go on medication. My anxiety glad score is 21 out of 21.
I struggle with socialising never know what to say whatever i do say o get told i am wrong or people say i am to litreal to honest and get upset. I am to bloody anxious to even answer my own front door. I dont go out alone ever and public transport is a no no. People often struffle with me as apparently o appear anxious when am not yet when i say i am anxious people say i look fine.
I am so sick of the stupid battle tht goes on in my own head all the time that i can't express nobody gets and the mask that makes me sit quiet and put up with everything.

When did the decision letter arrive? If it was less than a month ago you can ask for a mandatory reconsideration.

Advice Now has an excellent tool on their website that will take you through the request for a mandatory reconsideration step by step. It asks you questions about how your disability affects you in various areas then uses the answers you've given to produce the request letter for you. All you need to do then is print it out and sign it before sending off.

PiP is an absolutely shit system, in theory it should work but in reality it's actually used as a tool to decide people who need support can't have it.

And current figures show that more than half of people who request a mandatory reconsideration are successful is getting the DWPs decision reversed. They counting on you giving up and accepting their decision when, really, there is a good chance they have made the wrong decision.

I went all the way to tribunal, got refused.

Two months later, even though my health had improved, i got awarded it.

The decisions dont make sense.

But keep trying.

I have requested a mandatory redecicsion.
I get that they say they can't see my issues but its hard to show them

had exactly the same with my son recently, am waiting to see if they will reconsider, he scored 0...took no notice of what we had written or said, it's like they don't see Asperger's as a disability, whereas anyone who knows anyone on the spectrum will agree that it is, keep fighting it, it's about time PIP realised that not all disabilities are visible x

I scored zero too. I am so confused by it and really don't underatand how they can say it doesn't affect my day to day life.
